Short description
Illustrates an understanding of neuroanatomy couples with diagrams. This work can be used as both an adjunct to undergraduate, medical, and allied health neuroanatomy textbooks or monographs, as well as a stand alone neuroanatomy text, particularly at the student level.
Long description
"Netter's Concise Neuroanatomy" illustrates, as only Netter can, an understanding of neuroanatomy couples with diagrams. It can be used as both an adjunct to existing undergraduate, medical, and allied health neuroanatomy textbooks or monographs, as well as a stand alone neuroanatomy text, particularly at the student level.
Review
This pocket guide to neuroanatomy and function is based largely on the drawings of Frank Netter, MD, the famous medical illustrator. Netter's diagrams are combined with a series of tables summarizing key points of clinical anatomy and occasionally pathology. Drawings are in full color and well labeled. Each drawing is accompanied by a table highlighting anatomic and functional relevance. Occasionally, key points of pathophysiology are included as well...Given the abundance and quality of illustrations, this is a worthy complement to a standard anatomy or neuroanatomy text. -Doody's Review Service
[An] easy to use, digestible single source for common neurological problems...Clinical angles on the pathology make it great for PBL
