Netter's Atlas of Neuroscience

Netter Basic Science

by David L. Felten, M. Kerry O'Banion, Mary Summo Maida

Coverage of both regional and systemic neurosciences allows you to learn structure and function in different and important contexts.Combines the precision and beauty of Netter and Netter-style illustrations to highlight key neuroanatomical concepts and clinical correlations. Reflects the current understanding of the neural components and supportive tissue, regions, and systems of the brain, spinal cord, and periphery.Uniquely informative drawings provide a quick and memorable overview of anatomy, function, and clinical relevance. Succinct and useful format utilizes tables and short text to offer easily accessible "at-a-glance" information. Provides an overview of the basic features of the spinal cord, brain, and peripheral nervous system, the vasculature, meninges and cerebrospinal fluid, and basic development. Integrates the peripheral and central aspects of the nervous system.Bridges neuroanatomy and neurology through the use of correlative radiographs. Highlights cross-sectional brain stem anatomy and side-by-side comparisons of horizontal sections, CTs and MRIs.Expanded coverage of cellular and molecular neuroscience provides essential guidance on signaling, transcription factors, stem cells, evoked potentials, neuronal and glial function, and a number of molecular breakthroughs for a better understanding of normal and pathologic conditions of the nervous system.Micrographs, radiologic imaging, and stained cross sections supplement illustrations for a comprehensive visual understanding.Increased clinical points -- from sleep disorders and inflammation in the CNS to the biology of seizures and the mechanisms of Alzheimer's -- offer concise insights that bridge basic neuroscience and clinical application.

A fellow neurosurgery resident commented that their favourite neuroanatomical atlas was Netter's. Upon purchasing this book, I was taken aback at how poor the text was -- very little anatomic detail, lack of functional descriptors, etc. Later confronting said resident, he remarked the same; the book that he'd lauded was Netter's Concise Neuroanatomy (with neurological focus). This book is absolutely futile. I do not reference it... ever. The other edition is indeed superior to this one.

Its a good book, I´d give it 3.5 if I could. It has a lot of images and those are great even if they dont show a ton of anatomical details. There isnt a lot of text and thats a problem sometimes, but I also appreciate how simple and concise the book was.

Excelente recurso para neuroanatomía, me agrada que contenga detalles de fisiología y de alusiones a patologías en su clínica, es simplemente una herramienta que no se deja de leer.
