Summary: |
"Snell's Clinical Neuroanatomy, 8th Edition" is a comprehensive book consisting of 18 chapters covering a wide range of topics related to the structure and function of the nervous system. Here's a summary of each chapter: Introduction to Neuroanatomy: Provides an overview of the nervous system and its functions. General Anatomy and Cranial Nerves: Discusses the basic structure and functions of the brain, spine, and cranial nerves. Spinal Cord and Spinal Nerves: Offers an in-depth look at the spinal cord and its functions. Brainstem: This covers the structure and functions of the brainstem, including the medulla, pons, and midbrain. The Cerebellum: Explores the structure and functions of the cerebellum. Basal Ganglia and Thalamus: Discusses the basal ganglia and thalamus, which play important roles in movement and sensory processing. Hypothalamus and Limbic System: Looks at the structure and functions of the hypothalamus and limbic system, which are involved in hormonal regulation and emotional processing. Cerebral Cortex: Examines the structure and functions of the cerebral cortex, including the primary sensory and motor areas. Neurological Examination of the Nervous System: Provides an overview of the neurological examination, which is used to assess the function of the nervous system. Blood Supply of the Brain and Spinal Cord: Discusses the blood supply to the brain and spinal cord. Development of the Nervous System: Explores the development of the nervous system, from conception to adulthood. Structural and Functional Imaging: Looks at the various imaging techniques used to visualize the nervous system, including CT scans and MRIs. Chemical Senses: Covers the chemical senses of taste and smell. Vision: Examines the anatomy of the eye and the visual processing pathways in the brain. Hearing and Balance: Discusses the anatomy of the ear and the auditory and vestibular processing pathways in the brain. Motor and Integrative Neurophysiology: Provides an overview of motor and integrative neurophysiology, including muscle contraction and reflexes. Disturbances of Cerebrospinal Fluid Circulation, Including Hydrocephalus: Covers disturbances of cerebrospinal fluid circulation, including hydrocephalus. Neural Bases of Language, Speech, and Swallowing: Explores the neural bases of language, speech, and swallowing.

The book covers the basic principles of neuroanatomy and provides a clear understanding of the organization and function of the nervous system. It includes updated information and new content, making it a valuable resource for medical students, neuroscience students, and neurology residents. Each chapter is organized in a logical and systematic manner, beginning with an introduction and then moving on to cover specific aspects of the nervous system. The book covers topics ranging from the spinal cord and brainstem to the basal ganglia and cerebral cortex. It also includes chapters on the autonomic nervous system, the hypothalamus and limbic system, and the neurological examination of the nervous system. Throughout the book, there are clinical case examples, clinical notes, and tables that help to emphasize key concepts and summarize important information. The text is accompanied by high-quality illustrations that help to clarify complex topics and aid in learning. Overall, "Snell's Clinical Neuroanatomy, 8th Edition" is an essential resource for anyone studying or working in the field of neuroanatomy and neuroscience. |
Preface: |
This book contains the basic neuroanatomical facts necessary for the practice of medicine. It is suitable for medical students, dental students, nurses, and allied health students. Residents find this book useful during their rotations. The functional organization of the nervous system has been emphasized and indicates how injury and disease can result in neurologic deficits. The amount of factual Information has been strictly limited to that which Is clinically important. In this edition, authorship has transitioned from the late Dr. Richard Snell, who, with brilliance and dedication, fathered the previous seven editions and provided the framework for the eighth. The content of each chapter has been reviewed and edited to be more straightforward and concise. The traditional artwork has been recolored and updated to enhance clarity and to provide additional information to each image. High-quality magnetic resonance images and histologic photomicrographs have been updated to provide greater visual details. Each chapter introduces the relevance of neuroanatomy through a short case report. Clinical Example: A short case report that serves to dramatize the relevance of neuroanatomy introduces each chapter. • Chapter Objectives. This section details the material that is most important to learn and understand in each chapter. • Balle This section provides basic information on neuroanatomical structures that are of clinical importance, Numerous examples of normal radiographs, CT scans, MRIs, and PET scans are also provided. Many cross-sectional diagrams have been included to stimulate students to think in terms of three-dimensional anatomy, which is so Important in the Interpretation of CT scans and MR images. Clinical Notes: This section provides the application of neuroanatomical facts that are essential to clinical practice. It emphasizes the structures that the clinician will encounter when making a diagnosis and treating a patient It also provides the information necessary to understand many procedures and techniques and notes the anatomical .. pitfalls" commonly encountered. • NEW key Concepts: These are quick. Bulleted key topics and Information are provided at the end of each chapter. • Clinical problem solving: This section provide the student with many examples of clinical situations in which a knowledge of neuroanatomy Is necessary to solve clinical problems and to institute treatment; solutions to the problems are provided at the end of the chapter. • Review Questions: The purpose of the questions is threefold: to focus attention on areas of importance, to enable students to assess their areas of weakness, and to provide a form of self-evaluation when questions are answered under examination conditions. Some of the questions are centered around a clinical problem that requires a neuroanatomical answer. Solutions to the problem are provided at the end of each chapter. An interactive Review Test, including over 450 questions, is provided online. The book is extensively illustrated. The majority of the figures have been kept simple and are in color. As in the previous edition, a concise Color Atlas of the dissected brain is included prior to the text. This small but important group of colored plates enables the reader to quickly relate a particular part of the brain to the whole organ. |
