This new and greatly enhanced First Edition of Textbook of the Neuro-anatomy in Clinical Neuro Science builds on the strengths and intelligence of the author. The book is an invaluable resource for understanding the central and peripheral Neuro-anatomy underlying normal and abnormal function. Recent advances uncovering the anatomic underpinnings of complex behaviors, including memory, autism, and dementia, are integrated in this first edition. After an introduction to the developmental and cellular aspects of the nervous system, the book discusses in depth the morphology and internal organization of the central nervous system. It examines the somatic and autonomic components of the peripheral nervous system, emphasizing nerve entrapments and neuropathies. The author describes various dysfunctions by demonstrating the neuronal interconnectivity between higher and lower autonomic centers and the mediation of visceral reflexes. Expanded clinical correlations, with the addition of many clinical vignettes, and the inclusion of multiple radiology images further enhance the great value of this book to medical students and postgraduate students. While many neuro-anatomy books give scant attention to the autonomic and peripheral nervous systems, this book highlights the many clinical disorders resulting from their dysfunction.
