Localization in Clinical Neurology

Neuroanatomy is the study of nervous system structures and how they relate to function. One focus of neuroanatomists isthe macroscopic structures within the central and peripheral nervous systems, like the cortical folds on the surface of thebrain. However, scientists in this field are also interested in the microscopic relationships between neurons and glia - the twomajor cell types of the nervous system. Neurology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study and treatment ofdisorders of the nervous system. This book is a text that bridges the gap between neuroanatomy and clinical neurology. Thisunique text offers a concise overview of fundamental neuroanatomy and the clinical localization principles necessary todiagnose and treat patients with neurologic diseases and disorders. It is filled with numerous full-color illustrations and highresolution MRI and CT scans. It also contains explanatory tables which outline the clinical features, characteristics, anddifferential diagnosis of neurologic diseases and disorders. The high point of this book is that it explains concepts logicallyand practically, using clear language that gets straight to the point.There are certainly some books that will have more depthon given subject, but this book does an excellent job of providing the appropriate amount of depth of a given subject.
