Netter's Atlas of Neuroscience, 4E

Description:
Ideal for any student of neuroanatomy, neuroscience, or neuroradiology, Netter's Atlas of Neuroscience, 4th Edition, is a highly visual, clinically oriented exploration of structure and function-from neurons and motor and sensory systems to global neural functions and disorders. This award-winning text approaches this complex topic from three perspectives: Integrated Neuroscience Overview, Regional Approach, and Systems Context.  Illustrations by Frank H. Netter, MD, and others working in his tradition are framed by concise, expert text and accompanied by neuroimaging and photomicrographs.
