Index
"Essential Clinical Neuroanatomy is the first neuroanatomy text that consistently illustrates and discusses the anatomy of the central nervous system from the clinical perspective. All of the illustrations are provided in the clinical view using the axial radiologic standard of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. This provides consistency throughout the text and throughout the career of the reader. In addition, the neural pathways are color coded for easier recognition and recall with green indicating sensory components, red indicating voluntary motor components, and purple indicating involuntary autonomic components. The clinically relevant neuroanatomy is highlighted, with case studies, clinically oriented study questions, and clinical boxes of interest"--
