When a patient presents with a neurological problem, there is one question that must be answered, Where is the lesion located? This breakthrough - Basic Clinical Neuroanatomy - will prepare you to answer that question with confidence and success. Drs. Young and Young emphasize clinically importani pathways. Their book features numerous three-dimensional illustrations of the brain and spinal cord, which enhance visuałization of anatomical relationships needed to localize lesions. The authors clear, eoneise, yet comprehense, focus promotes leaming. In addition, the structure fanetion emphasis of the text reinforces understanding of nerve pathways. Other features include boxed clinical inlonnation throughout the book, review questions at the end of eaeh ehapter, and a glossary of key terms for easy reference. Basic Clinical Neuroanatomy is your essential resource for information on the structure and function of the brain. No other book provides such a clear and detailed approach to localising lesions.
