Author Description

<p>Ideal for any student of neuroanatomy, neuroscience, or other medical or science disciplines involving the nervous system, <i>Netter's Atlas of Neuroscience, 4th Edition</i>, is a <b>highly visual, clinically oriented exploration of structure and function</b>-from neurons to motor and sensory systems to global neural function and dysfunction. This <b>award-winning text</b> approaches this complex topic from three perspectives: Neuroscience Overview, Regional Neuroscience, and Systemic Neuroscience. Illustrations by Frank H. Netter, MD, and others following in his tradition are framed by <b>concise, expert text</b> and accompanied by neuroimaging, photomicrographs, and summary diagrams. </p><ul> <ul></ul> <li>Combines Netter and Netter-like illustrations, and beautiful molecular and cellular illustrations, with succinct text and clinical points, delivering <b>the essential information students need</b> for both basic science and clinical programs.</li> <ul> </ul> <li>Presents <b>organizational and summarized neurosciences information</b>, enabling students to review complex concepts, functions, and systems in several contexts.</li> <ul> </ul> <li>Provides an <b>overview of the basic features </b>of cellular and molecular neuroscience; peripheral nerves, spinal cord, brain stem and cerebellum, and the brain; reviews the neural vasculature, meninges and cerebrospinal fluid, and developmental neuroscience.</li> <ul> </ul> <li>Highlights <b>cross-sectional spinal cord and brain stem anatomy</b> and side-by-side comparisons of Netter illustrations and MRIs of axial and coronal brain sections, including extensive clinical correlations.</li> <ul> </ul> <li>Focuses on foundational concepts as well as clinically relevant discussions.</li> <ul> </ul> <li>Expands basic neural connectivity and functional roles of limbic structures and behavior.</li> <ul> </ul> <li>Reviews <b>Global Neural Functions and Disorders </b>in a brand new chapter with more than a dozen new art plates
