Ideal for any student of neuroanatomy, neuroscience, or other medical or
science disciplines involving the nervous system, Netter's Atlas of
Neuroscience, 4th Edition, is a highly visual, clinically oriented
exploration of structure and function-from neurons to motor and
sensory systems to global neural function and dysfunction. This
award-winning text approaches this complex topic from three
perspectives: Neuroscience Overview, Regional Neuroscience, and Systemic
Neuroscience. Illustrations by Frank H. Netter, MD, and others following
in his tradition are framed by concise, expert text and accompanied
by neuroimaging, photomicrographs, and summary diagrams.
-
Combines Netter and Netter-like illustrations, and beautiful molecular
and cellular illustrations, with succinct text and clinical points,
delivering the essential information students need for both basic
science and clinical programs.
-
Presents organizational and summarized neurosciences information,
enabling students to review complex concepts, functions, and systems
in several contexts.
-
Provides an overview of the basic features of cellular and
molecular neuroscience; peripheral nerves, spinal cord, brain stem and
cerebellum, and the brain; reviews the neural vasculature, meninges
and cerebrospinal fluid, and developmental neuroscience.
-
Highlights cross-sectional spinal cord and brain stem anatomy and
side-by-side comparisons of Netter illustrations and MRIs of axial and
coronal brain sections, including extensive clinical correlations.
-
Focuses on foundational concepts as well as clinically relevant
discussions.
-
Expands basic neural connectivity and functional roles of limbic
structures and behavior.
-
Reviews Global Neural Functions and Disorders in a brand new
chapter with more than a dozen new art plates.
-
Includes many new art plates covering current topics including
neural foundations of addiction, dementias, several neuropsychiatric
disorders, consciousness, coma and its assessment, sleep regulation,
postnatal and adult neurogenesis, endogenous opioid systems,
endogenous cannabinoid systems, and others.
-
Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook
allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the
book on a variety of devices.
