Book SynopsisFundamentals of Canine Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology introduces the fundamentals of veterinary neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, demonstrating structure and function as it relates to clinical applications with a highly visual approach.
Trade Review“This excellent and scientifically detailed book is a much-needed introduction for first year veterinarians.” (Doody’s, 8 January 2015)
"The book is reasonably priced and will be a good addition to the libraries of both general practitioners and veterinary students.
