Description
NETTER ATLAS OF NEUROSCIENCE 4TH ED
Book Summary
This fourth edition of the Netter Atlas of Neuroscience offers a comprehensive and updated visual guide to the nervous system, combining iconic Netter illustrations with diagnostic imaging. Designed for medical students, it presents fundamental neuroscience concepts with a strong clinical focus, facilitating the understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system. The book includes a new section on global brain functions, addressing topics such as dementias, neuropsychiatric disorders, and aging, making it an essential tool for study and clinical practice.
What is it about?
The atlas organizes its content into four major sections covering an integrated overview, a regional approach, a systems context, and a new perspective on global brain functions. Throughout its pages, it explores the entire nervous system, including peripheral nerves, the central nervous system, the ventricular system, meninges, cerebral vascularization, developmental neuroscience, and neuroendocrine regulation. Each illustration is accompanied by concise explanatory text and clinical correlation boxes that highlight practical applications. The edition incorporates novel topics such as molecular techniques for studying neurons, genetic models, normal pressure hydrocephalus, migraine mechanisms, and fetal alcohol syndrome, offering an updated view of neuroscience.
Main Topics
- Anatomy of the central and peripheral nervous system
- Developmental neuroscience and neuroendocrine regulation
- Cerebral vascularization, ventricular system, and meninges
- Clinical correlation of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders
- Global brain functions, dementias, and aging
- Molecular techniques and genetic models in neuroscience
Who is it recommended for?
This atlas is recommended for medical students in the early years of their training who need to acquire basic and fundamental concepts of neuroscience. It is also useful for healthcare professionals who wish to review or update their knowledge, as well as for residents in neurology, neurosurgery, and other related specialties seeking a high-quality visual and clinical reference.
