Neuroanatomy Text and Atlas, Fifth Edition

A regional and functional approach to learning human neuroanatomy – enhanced by additional full-color illustrations and PowerPoint® slides of all images in the text for instructors!

Neuroanatomy: Text and Atlas covers neuroanatomy from both a functional and regional perspective to provide an understanding of how the components of the central nervous system work together to sense the world around us, regulate body systems, and produce behavior. This trusted text thoroughly covers the sensory, motor, and integrative skills of the brains and presents an overview of the function in relation to structure and the locations of the major pathways and neuronal integrative regions.

Neuroanatomy: Text and Atlas also teaches readers how to interpret the new wealth of human brain images by developing an understanding of the anatomical localization of brain function. The authoritative core content of myelin-stained histological sections is enhanced by informative line illustrations, angiography, and brain views produced by MRI, and other imaging technologies.

Revised and updated to reflect advances in clinical neuroanatomy and neural science, this edition features:

• New content: Full-color illustrations enriched with many new images specific to this edition
• Engaging cases: Chapters start with a clinical case illustrating the connections and functions of key material
• Practice questions: Each chapter concludes with a series of multiple-choice review questions for reinforcement
• New resources online: The Online learning center displays brain views produced by MRI and PET, aiding in the interpretation of radiological images
• Detailed organization: Promotes understanding through comprehensive coverage of sensory, motor, and integrative systems of the brain, including cerebral vasculature
• Valuable resources: Comprehensive atlas provides key views of the surface anatomy of the central nervous system and photographs of myelin-stained sections in three anatomical planes
• Aids for learning: Includes clinical topics, boxes, chapter summaries, and a Glossary of key terms and structures
