DESCRIPTION
This classic well-illustrated textbook simplifies
neuroscience content to focus coverage on the essentials
and helps students learn important neuroanatomical
facts and definitions. Among its many distinctions are its
organization by region and then pathways into and out of
the nervous system, which permits students an integrated
view of the anatomy and physiology; level of treatment
suited to increasingly shorter neuroanatomy course hours
for medical and allied health students; and the author's
succinct writing style.
