Clinical neuroanatomy / created by Richard S.Snell. M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P., MB, BS, MD, PhD. Emeritus Professor of Anatomy, George Washington University, School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Washington DC, Formerly Associate Professor of Anatomy and Medicine, Yale University Medical School; Lecturer in Anatomy King's College University of London; and Visiting Professor of Anatomy, Harvard Medical School. - Seventh edition - xviii, 542 pages : illustrations (some coloured) ; 28 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index
Introduction and organization of the nervous system -- The neurobiology of the neuron and the neuroglia -- Nerve fibers, peripheral nerves, receptor and effector endings, dermatomes, and muscle activity -- The spinal cord and the ascending and descending tracts -- The brainstem -- The cerebellum and its connections -- The cerebrum -- The structure and functional localization of the cerebral cortex -- The reticular formation and the limbic system -- The basal nuclei (basal ganglia) and their connections -- The cranial nerve nuclei and their central connections and distribution -- The thalamus and its connections -- The hypothalamus and its connections -- The autonomic nervous system -- The meninges of the brain and spinal cord -- The ventricular system, the cerebrospinal fluid, and the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barriers -- The blood supply of the brain and spinal cord -- The development of the nervous system.
Organized classically by system, this popular text gives medical and health professions students a complete, clinically oriented introduction to neuroanatomy. Each chapter begins with clear objectives, includes clinical cases, and ends with clinical notes, clinical problem-solving, and review questions. Hundreds of full-color illustrations, diagnostic images, and color photographs enhance the text. This Seventh Edition features new information relating the different parts of the skull to the brain areas, expanded coverage of brain development and neuroplasticity, and updated information on stem cell research. The artwork has been greatly improved. New Clinical Problems have been added, and updated Clinical Notes incorporate recent advances resulting from war veterans' head injuries and treatment.
