✦ Synopsis

To demonstrate the connection between academic neuroanatomy and the practice of clinical neurology, this innovative textbook presents carefully chosen clinical cases that illustrate how the nervous system is constructed and how it functions under normal circumstances. Providing the foundation needed to encounter neurological diseases, it teaches students and residents how to integrate a patient’s clinical history and examination with neuroanatomy. In addition to color illustrations throughout, the book adds an invaluable DVD for further exploration and access to a state-of-the-art website with additional materials that are updated periodically.
