This text offers a regional and functional approach to learning human neuroanatomy, enhanced with full-color illustrations and PowerPoint slides for instructors. It provides insights into how the central nervous system components work together to sense the environment, regulate body systems, and produce behavior. The content thoroughly addresses sensory, motor, and integrative skills of the brain, emphasizing the relationship between function and structure, along with the locations of major pathways and neuronal regions. Readers will learn to interpret human brain images by understanding anatomical localization of brain function. The core content is supported by myelin-stained histological sections, informative illustrations, and various imaging technologies like MRI and angiography. The text is revised to reflect recent advances in clinical neuroanatomy and neuroscience, featuring new full-color illustrations. Each chapter begins with a clinical case to illustrate key material and concludes with multiple-choice review questions. An online learning center displays brain views from MRI and PET scans, enhancing knowledge of spinal cord and brain organization. It covers sensory, motor, and integrative systems, promotes understanding of neuroanatomy for accurate radiological interpretation, and includes a comprehensive atlas and learning aids such as clinical topics, summaries, and a glossary.
