Summary: "This concise text offers medical and health professions students a clinically oriented introduction to human neuroanatomy. It provides the anatomic basis for neurologic abnormalities, enabling medical students to determine "where is the lesion located?" and health professionals to understand the anatomic basis of neurologic abnormalities in patients. This edition features two-color illustrations, additional MRIs and CTs, a new chapter on development and congenital anomalies, and updated and new clinical topics. Daniel Tolbert, a new co-author with expertise in physiology, has added information on the neurophysiology and pathophysiology of neurons, reflexes, motor and sensory systems, the cerebral cortex, and the hypothalamus. Revised end-of-chapter questions are now in USMLE format. The fully searchable text will be available online at thePoint."--Publisher description.
