Atlas of Functional Neuroanatomy, Second Edition
Features
Summary
Presenting a clear visual guide to understanding the human central nervous system, this second edition includes numerous four-color illustrations, photographs, diagrams, radiographs, and histological material throughout the text. Organized and easy to follow, the book presents an overview of the CNS, sensory, and motor systems and the limbic system, with new and revised material. It also features an updated, interactive CD-ROM with full text, color illustrations, 3-D visualization, roll-over labeling, and flash animations. Containing a glossary of terms, this is an essential reference tool for medical and allied health professionals studying neuroanatomy, neuroscience, and neurology.

Editorial Reviews
A very useful Atlas for students in medicine and neuroscience as well as for trainees in neurology, anatomy, neurosurgery and allied neurosciences. Each illustration (most in color) is accompanied by an explanatory text. The book has a glossary, index and a CD-ROM.
— In Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews (PER), Vol. 4, No. 3, March 2007
…an excellent tool for introducing the basic concepts of neuroanatomy to medical students. Physicians in training could also use it as an easily manageable method for refreshing basic concepts. The CD-ROM greatly enhances the utility and value of this book and makes it well worth the suggested list price.
—Estrada J. Bernard Jr., M.D., Journal of Neurosurgery, Vol. 105, September 2006
