In this book
Neuroanatomy and the Neurologic Exam is an innovative,
comprehensive thesaurus that surveys terminology from neuroanatomy
and the neurologic examination, as well as related general terms
from neurophysiology, neurohistology, neuroembryology,
neuroradiology, and neuropathology. The author prepared the
thesaurus by examining how terms were used in a large sample of
recent, widely used general textbooks in basic neuroanatomy and
clinical neurology. These textbooks were written by experts who
received their primary professional training in 13 different
countries, allowing the thesaurus to incorporate synonyms and
conflicting definitions that occur as a result of variations in
terminology used in other countries. The thesaurus contains:
The Last Word in Thesauruses
-- More than 1,000,000 synonyms
-- Simple alphabetical arrangement -- no separate index
necessary
-- Separate subdivisions for the different parts of speech and
different meanings of the same word
-- Expanded to include thousands of new words and expressions that
have entered the language in recent years
-- Includes clearly labeled slang and informal words and
expressions, as well as rare, archaic, scientific and other
specialized terms
-- Minimum cross-references
