Liebman's Neuroanatomy Made Easy and Understandable is an essential
resource for students and professionals. The author leaves out
extraneous theories and unnecessary details. Only the basics of
neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, physical diagnosis,
and neurology remain. The subject matter is presented in a simple and
personal style. This straightforward approach makes the book much easier
to read and absorb than more convoluted neuroanatomy texts. This
impressive work, now in its seventh edition, includes updated chapters
and appendixes, and some new material: Chapter 12 has a newly added
figure that summarizes the general plan of the autonomic nervous system,
with extra attention paid to the area of the head; Chapter 13 includes a
new original drawing that clarifies and summarizes the origin and
destination of fiber types that pass through the ciliary ganglion; and
Chapter 23, has a significant amount of new material related to
pathologic conditions of the central nervous system. Also, a new chapter
has been added that discusses Fragile-X syndrome, Autism, and
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Whether used as a
textbook, review aid, or professional reference, Liebman's Neuroanatomy
Made Easy and Understandable serves students well throughout their
medical or allied health education.
