The Human Nervous System

For over thirty years The Human Nervous System has offered a concise, well-written text on neuroanatomy for both medical and allied health students. This successful title is organized into four major parts: cellular aspects of the nervous system, regional anatomy of the brain and spinal cord, sensory and motor systems, and blood supply. The Eighth Edition has been simplified to enhance coverage of the essentials and help students learn important facts and definitions. A CD-ROM at the back of the book includes multiple-choice and short-answer questions for review, clinical cases, an expanded glossary, expanded reading lists, and additional illustrations and diagrams.
