Clinical Neuroanatomy and Related Neuroscience: Basic and Clinical

First Prize Winner - Basic and Clinical Sciences 2002 BMA Medical Book Awards

A clearly written, highly illustrated textbook of neuroanatomy which tackles the subject from the clinical perspective, emphasising what needs to be known in order to make good clinical decisions and reinforcing this message through clinical boxes, which appear throughout the text. Some neuroscience background is also included and the design is modern and attractive to appeal to even the most reluctant of students faced with the sometimes daunting task of learning neuroanatomy! An already well-established text, this new edition has had a major overhaul - it has been totally rewritten and all the artwork is new and now in full-colour throughout.

the various controls involved in movement have been substantially expended for the new edition - this should be of particular interest to physical therapists

psychology and psychiatry are now much stronger - thanks to the information provided by PET - so there is lots of 'human interest' material on phobias, panic attacks etc.
