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.
