by: James R. Augustine publisher: Academic Press, published: 2008 ASIN: 0120682516 EAN: 9780120682515 sales rank: 872712 This textbook provides a thorough and comprehensive overview of the human brain and spinal cord for medical and graduate students as well as residents in the clinical neurosciences. Standing on the shoulders of training from outstanding scientist-teacher mentors and based on more than 30 years of experience teaching about the brain and spinal cord to medical and graduate students, this single authored text presents everything the reader would need as they begin their study of the nervous system. At the same time the experienced neuroscientist will find much useful and valuable information in these pages that is based almost exclusively on studies in experimental primates and observations in humans. Every effort has been made to present the complexities of the nervous system as simply and clearly as possible. The careful reader will discover a clarity and depth of coverage that makes the reading both instructional and enjoyable. Topics are presented logically and the text in an easy-to-read style. The accompanying line drawings emphasize important concepts in a clear and uncluttered manner. Topics presented: . Neurons, glial cells, degeneration, regeneration, axonal transport . Review of the development of the human nervous system . Overview of the anatomy of the spinal cord, brain stem and forebrain . General sensory paths (pain, temperature, touch, pressure, proprioception) . Special sensory systems (auditory, vestibular, visual, olfactory and gustatory) . Eye movements and visual reflexes . Comprehensive presentation of the regions involved in motor activity including the clinical manifestation of injuries to these motor areas . Limbic system, hypothalamus and the autonomic nervous system . Lobes of the brain, clinically important cortical areas and the results of lesions in these areas . Blood supply to the spinal cord, brain stem, and brain including classical brain stem syndromes . The meninges and the ventricular system . Numerous helpful clinical correlations that emphasize the practical application of basic anatomical information. * Presents the complexities of the nervous system as simply and clearly as possible * Written with a clarity and depth of coverage that makes the reading both instructional and enjoyable * Includes numerous illustrations emphasizing important concepts |

by: Ronald L. Green publisher: W. W. Norton & Company, published: 2009-07-13 ASIN: 0393703983 EAN: 9780393703986 sales rank: 465235 Whether you’re a practicing mental health clinician, a post-doc psychologist, a psychiatric resident, or in any number of allied fields, you can’t get away without knowing something about the brain and how it works. For the first time, two psychiatric experts offer an eminently readable, color-illustrated text that boils down the complexities of neuroscience to focus only on the parts of the brain specifically related to behavioral disorders. Authors Green and Ostrander, provide concise chapter summaries and vignettes and a handy, quick-review appendix that lists brain structures and regions affiliated with behavior for easy consultation. Nearly 200 color illustrations, brain scans, and diagrams depict the nuances of brain-behavior anatomy and function. |

by: Hans-Joachim Kretschmann publisher: Thieme, published: 2004-02-20 ASIN: 1588901459 EAN: 9781588901453 sales rank: 983222 In the ten years since publication of the second edition, the diagnostic information provided by new imaging methods (CT, MRI, PET, US) has improved significantly. Clinicians and specialists must master three-dimensional neuroanatomy of the head in order to localize and interpret pathological symptoms and findings. As in the previous editions, the drawings presented here depict anatomic structures in shades of gray similar to the way they are seen in CT and MR images. All drawings of the atlas portion of the book have been made from cadaver sections. This book is designed as a practical tool. The illustrations of the neurofunctional systems as they are localized in the tomographic planes are meant to orient the reader as to their localization in CT, MR and PET images. They also make it possible to extrapolate the clinical symptoms which correlate to the pathological CT and MR findings.
The new, third edition includes both T1 and T2 weighted MR images, as well as enhanced detail throughout. |
