Description
Book SynopsisThis manual presents functional neuroanatomy and a thorough understanding of the function of the central nervous system. Its takes a problem and exercise-based approach to the material, including dissections, radiological material, histology, clinical cases and experimental data.
Trade Review“…a good addition to any bookshelf...easy to read, with an informal approach.” (
Neuroradiology, Vol. 46, No. 9, September 2004)
"...engaging and highly novel presentation...provides a thorough understanding of the central nervous system..." (www.neuro-psychoanalysis.org, 19 April 2004)
"The authors have deployed their years of experience in writing a manual which we would highly recommend to anyone needing to learn functional neuroanatomy for use in a clinical or laboratory setting." (Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine, July 2003)
"…unfolds to the students the principles of Neuroanatomy and… how to investigate and gain knowledge about the human brain." (Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy, August 2007)
