"The third edition of Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases is written for first- or second-year
medical students enrolled in a basic neuroanatomy neurobiology or neuroscience course. It is
also a valuable resource for advanced medical students and residents as well as students of
other health professions ranging from physical therapy to dentistry. This book brings a
pioneering interactive approach to the teaching of neuroanatomy and comprises 19 chapters that
explain the major neuroanatomical systems. Each chapter first presents background
material-including an overview of relevant neuroanatomical structures and pathways-and a brief
discussion of related clinical disorders. The second half of each chapter is devoted to
clinical cases. The cases begin with a narrative of how the patient developed symptoms and what
deficits were found on neurological examination. A series of questions challenges the reader to
deduce the neuroanatomical location of the patient's lesion and the diagnosis. Discussion and
answers follow revealing the actual outcome. This third edition is fully updated with the
latest advances in the field and includes several new cases and enhanced online and digital
components"--
