The grasp of neuroanatomy, maybe more than in other organ systems,
is closely related to function, neurophysiology and
neuro-biochemistry. Its understanding requires a working knowledge
of the pivotal neuro-embryological events as well as a working
knowledge of general anatomy. For these reasons, it remains one of
the greatest challenges, both for the aspiring student and for the
dedicated mentor in the medical field. The span of books used as
references in teaching neuroanatomy is either too detailed or too
simplistic in their attempt to balance the time constraints against
the key points for each subject. In addition, since the field of
neuroscience is currently at the forefront of research, many of the
textbooks that are available are written by researchers rather than
clinicians, and as a result they tend to suffer a lack of clinical
focus. This book, written by a tutor of neuroanatomy and a
practising neurosurgeon, attempts to offer a better balance and a
more useful formula. This book is composed for the medical student,
relying on comments from past medical students. The book begins
with an introduction chapter which discusses the organisation of
the nervous system, anatomical planes, introduction to
neuro-embryology, as well as relevant scalp and skull anatomy. The
next succeeding six chapters discuss the central nervous system
regionally. Each chapter begins with the key embryological
processes that shape the anatomy and function of that region. The
gross anatomical description is followed by a short discussion of
microscopic anatomy, grey and white matter anatomical features,
major connections and key clinical correlations. The next three
chapters tackle specific problematic topics separately. The
meninges, the cerebrospinal fluid and the lateral ventricles are
discussed first, followed by an overview of the cerebral blood
supply. A unique chapter focusing on specific skull base complex
structures, such as the cavernous sinus region, the sphenoid sinus,
and the jugular foramen is subsequently presented. The book ends
with two chapters presenting the special sensory senses, vision and
audition. These chapters are organised in a system rather than in
regional anatomy forms, with an in-depth discussion of related
anatomical features.
