This textbook provides a thorough and comprehensive overview of the
human brain and spinal cord for medical and graduate students as
well as residents in the clinical neurosciences. Standing on the
shoulders of training from outstanding scientist-teacher mentors
and based on more than 30 years of experience teaching about the
brain and spinal cord to medical and graduate students, this single
authored text presents everything the reader would need as they
begin their study of the nervous system. At the same time the
experienced neuroscientist will find much useful and valuable
information in these pages that is based almost exclusively on
studies in experimental primates and observations in humans. Every
effort has been made to present the complexities of the nervous
system as simply and clearly as possible. The careful reader will
discover a clarity and depth of coverage that makes the reading
both instructional and enjoyable. Topics are presented logically
and the text in an easy-to-read style. The accompanying line
drawings emphasize important concepts in a clear and uncluttered
manner.
Topics presented:
- Neurons, glial cells, degeneration, regeneration, axonal
transport
- Review of the development of the human nervous system
- Overview of the anatomy of the spinal cord, brain stem and
forebrain
- General sensory paths (pain, temperature, touch, pressure,
proprioception)
- Special sensory systems (auditory, vestibular, visual, olfactory
and gustatory)
- Eye movements and visual reflexes
- Comprehensive presentation of the regions involved in motor
activity including the clinical manifestation of injuries to these
motor areas
- Limbic system, hypothalamusand the autonomic nervous system
- Lobes of the brain, clinically important cortical areas and the
results of lesions in these areas
- Blood supply to the spinal cord, brain stem, and brain including
classical brain stem syndromes
- The meninges and the ventricular system
- Numerous helpful clinical correlations that emphasize the
practical application of basic anatomical information.
* Presents the complexities of the nervous system as simply and
