his novel approach to learning neuroanatomy features a 2-page art/text format that stimulates the important aspect of integrated (right-brain/left brain) learning. Visual presentation is supported by text, rather than text supported by visual. A provocative, experiential color-to-learn mode actively engages the student in exploring the high-quality diagrams and brain dissections. Composite summaries are featured in the 2-page format, and the visual simplicity of labels and legends renders difficult material in a non-intimidating manner. Numerous review questions with answers and explanations help the reader assess what has been covered. Lecturers - Click here to order a FREE Review Copy of this title !

This is a clinical neurology book for the student, non neurologist, and those that teach them. The book covers neuroanatomy, history taking and examination and then proceeds to discuss the clinical features of common problems as well as some of the more common rare, neurological disorders, in a way that will demystify a part of medicine that students find complex and difficult to understand. The book is accompanied by a DVD explaining concepts, demonstrating techniques of performing the neurological examination and demonstration of abnormal neurological signs. The first chapter is devoted to neuroanatomy from a clinical viewpoint. The concept of localising problems by likening the nervous system to a map grid with vertical meridians of longitude (the ascending sensory pathways and the descending motor pathway)and horizontal parallels of latitude (cortical signs, brainstem cranial nerves, nerve roots and peripheral nerves) of the nervous system is developed. Subsequent chapters take the reader through the neurological examination and the common neurological presentations from a symptom oriented approach. Chapter 4 contains a very simple method of understanding the brainstem, the "rule of 4". Chapter 6 discusses the approach after the history and examination are completed. The final chapter is an overview of how to approach information gathering and keeping up-to-date using the complex information streams available. - widely illustrated with case studies and illustrations - key points - clinical questions - clinical orientation with comprehensive references

The author noted, after more than 35 years of teaching, that many medical, nursing and physical therapy students, as well as, generalists, feared or avoided neurology and neurological patients. Neurology in Our Midst is a form of interventional neurology book that addresses this problem. The writing style deviates from the usual medical books. The content simplifies and avoids obfuscation of the language of neurology. It emphasizes understanding of how the central nervous system (CNS) controls our daily activities and if injured or afflicted by diseases, how they manifest. Bedside examinations, to unmask the aberrant functions, are detailed and the abnormalities are explained for the purpose of localization. CNS anatomic structures are dissected into chapters and paired with clinical examples and neuroanatomic correlations. The “Waterloo” of neurology is the understanding and evaluation of unconscious patients, so, the book addressed this difficulty. The cerebrospinal fluid circulation and cerebrovascular neuroanatomy are discussed and correlated with hydrocephalus and stroke. Neuroanatomy and clinical neurology lectures will be more interesting and meaningful if one reads the entire book before attending them.

NEURO-LOGIC is a foundational text about localization in the nervous system-the fundamental skill of clinical neurology. Written in an easily understandable and entertaining expanded outline format, the book integrates basic neuroscience information, the art of neurological examination, and disease-based knowledge. Over 95 crystal-clear illustrations illuminate topography, anatomic relationships, and clinical concepts. The material in this book is field-tested, and evolved from a syllabus the authors developed over many years of teaching introductory neurology to medical students. With a logical approach to the nervous system, the book takes readers step-by-step from the basics of the cerebral hemispheres and Brodmann areas to complex details about brainstem stroke syndromes, basal ganglia pathways, and brachial/lumbosacral plexi. It also contains a neuropsychiatry section exploring the relationship of frontal lobes and psychiatric disorders, and includes a section on special applications covering coma, epilepsy, movement, vertigo, cord compression, and autonomics. Written by renowned neurological educators, this concise primer will serve students throughout medical school rotations, post-graduate residency training, and medical practice during the lifelong learning task of evaluating patients with neurological problems. It is also a useful aid for neurology residents for reviewing the basics or preparing for their Residency In Service Training Exam (RITE), and for clinicians in related specialties who want to sharpen their neurological acumen. Key Features of NEURO-LOGIC: Teaches the fundamentals of localization and how to apply examination findings to sound clinical reasoning Written in a clear, accessible outline format that reflects how neurologists think Presents a logical approach to localization of lesions in the nervous system based on knowledge of neuroanatomy and clinical concepts Includes over 95 original drawings that make localization understandable

This carefully-designed textbook offers a brand-new approach to learning neuroanatomy for medical students and newly-qualified doctors, particularly those considering a career in neurology and neurosurgery. Promoting active learning and taking inspiration from other popular case-based formats, readers are encouraged to overcome their inherent ‘neurophobia’. The accessible text and practical examples, unencumbered by esoteric minutiae, support students and trainees in developing the necessary skills that will be essential in later clinical practice. Developed specifically in response to student feedback, the authors have succeeded in creating a novel, brief, and high-yield primer that offers a unique approach to mastering this challenging discipline. Case Closed! Neuroanatomy not only teaches students how to localize, but also guides them to solve successfully the problems that will reappear in their exams and in the clinic.
