	A Beginner's Guide to the Study of Neuroanatomy: Neuroembryological, Historical, and Comparative Perspectives by: Andrew L. Lautin publisher: Springer, published: 2012-05-31 ASIN: 1441978887 EAN: 9781441978882 The ambition of most traditional approaches to neuroanatomy is to provide a factual armamentarium for the solution of medical problems or for the more exacting needs of neurologists and neuroanatomists. The narrative approach proposed by the authors and the inclusion of historical context are meant to engage both the medical and non-medical reader and to provide deeper insight to the subject matter than is possible by the mere presentation of facts. This text is based on material presented to medical students, residents and physician assistants in the classroom and clinical setting and in grand rounds presentations in departments of neurology and psychiatry at NYU, Cabrini, Woodhull, Manhattan State, and other local institutions. Valuable feedback from these settings has enabled the authors to hone their presentation to be of value to this wide compass of readership.
	NMS Neuroanatomy (National Medical Series for Independent Study) by: William DeMyer publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 1997-09-01 ASIN: 068330075X EAN: 9780683300758 sales rank: 398562 In this Second Edition of the text, new research that has discarded several previous hypotheses and seeming facts have been pointed out. The text serves the practitioner. Therefore, there is a balance of intellectual neuroanatomy required to correlate neurologic function and structure against the practical neuroanatomy required to diagnose the next patient. In addition more clinical applications throughout the text justify the student's devotion to learning neuroanatomy.

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.

	Neuroanatomy for Medical Students by: Julia L. Wilkinson publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann, published: 1992-04 ASIN: 0750614471 EAN: 9780750614474 sales rank: 7543291 This second edition, contains an expanded bibliography, with references throughout the text, includes literature consulted during its preparation. More neurophysiology, neuropharmacology and applied anatomy have been incorporated. Revision of artwork is considerable: 47 new illustrations have been produced, of which 14 are additional, the rest, including the entire brainstem series, have been redrawn or photographed. A comprehensive glossary has been added. Some chapters present a brief account of recent research. Included here are subjects such as nerve growth factor, neural transplantation, dorsal column transection, cerebellar memory, perivascular spaces, neurotransmitters and neurmodulators, nuclear magnetic resonance and positron emulsion tomography. Other topics updated or expanded are: cell membrane structure and function, motor control, muscle spindles, spinocerebellar tracts, reticular formation, striatal transmitters, retinal neurons, pineal gland, pituitary tumours, split brain effect, visual cortex, neural plasticity and barrel fields. A revision section on topography of ventricles and a summary table of cranial nerve are added. Because the term "extrapyramidal" is still widely used clinically in describing disorders of basal ganglia, it has been retained in relation to these structures, and collectively to related cortical efferents, corticostriate, -rubral, -olivary, -nigral and -reticular fibres. It is not used in classification of spinal motor pathways.
	Functional Neuroanatomy: An Interactive Text and Manual by: Jeffrey T. Joseph publisher: Wiley-Liss, published: 2004-02-04 ASIN: 0471444375 EAN: 9780471444374 sales rank: 1531037 An engaging and highly novel presentation of functional neuroanatomy, Functional Neuroanatomy provides a thorough understanding of the function of the central nervous system. Its takes a problem- and exercise-based approach to the material, with everything from dissections, radiological material, and histology to clinical cases and experimental data. The text shows histology of various neurological disorders, accompanied by descriptions of clinically relevant pathology. Numerous patient presentations support the case studies by offering real examples of how functional neuroanatomy applies to clinical problems. Taking a highly interactive approach to the field, the text offers over 500 clearly labeled images of gross, microscopic, and radiological images. It cross-references between chapters and reinforces concepts introduced earlier. The emphasis stays on clinical relevance throughout, and the book concludes with an atlas of labeled gross structures and cross-sections.
