Clinically oriented and student-friendly, Basic Clinical Neuroscience provides the anatomic and pathophysiologic basis necessary to understand neurologic abnormalities. This concise but comprehensive text emphasizes the localization of specific medically important anatomic structures and clinically important pathways, using anatomy-enhancing illustrations.

Updated throughout to reflect recent advances in the field, the Third Edition features new clinical boxes, over 100 additional review questions, and striking full color artwork.

Features Include: Clinical Connection boxes Review questions at the end of each chapter and detailed answers in the back of the book An entire chapter on locating lesions An atlas of myelin-stained sections Unique, hand-drawn, full color artwork A glossary of key terms
