Editorial Reviews

Review

"…This atlas has some very nice features, particularly the 3-D images…A list of illustrations at the beginning of the atlas, as well as a glossary, bibliography, and accompanying CD-ROM, are all outstanding features that add value to this atlas…" -Doody Publishing, Inc.

Product Description

The Atlas of Functional Neuroanatomy guides the student and practitioner in visualizing and understanding the many parts of the central nervous system (CNS)-the key to knowing where diseases occur. The illustrations include photographs and drawings (some color-enhanced) which have been selectively labeled; each is accompanied by text which explains the structures named and appropriate clinically-relevant comments.The Atlas presents an overview of the nervous system, followed by the sensory and motor systems as they traverse the CNS. These features prepare students to work through the localization process. The atlas also offers a detailed look at the microanatomy, particularly of the brainstem. Radiographic images are also included, along with illustrations of the blood supply of the brain. The final section features a unique set of illustrations, and these serve as the foundation for an integrated view of the structure and function of the limbic system. The accompanying CD-ROM contains all the illustrations from the print version, with the advantage of 3-D visualization and full color. Most noteworthy are the pathways of the spinal cord and brainstem, and the detailed illustrations of the microanatomy of the brainstem, along with color sections of the human brainstem. All of this enables students to approach the diseases of the nervous system with a strong anatomical background.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent clear text, April 14, 2001

By	Mavi Rose (Philadelphia) - See all my reviews

I have been hunting for a concise and clear atlas that would help me visualize the brain in 3-D. Atlases I used in medical school were 2-D, too detailed, disjointed, and left alot to the imagination as to how the brain parts fit togther as a whole. This book takes the guess work out of that and is a text as well as an atlas. It uses airbrush pictures to help with visualization. In addtion, it has the added bonus of including a CD-ROM. It is a delight to read and in only minutes a day, I am gaining a whole new understanding of the brain. The pages are printed on high quality paper and you can easily use colored markers to color in any part of the brain you wish. There is even a suggested color chart. I am a neurology resident and I am so glad I found this book!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't believe the Cover, May 20, 2005

By	S. Richardson (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I brought the book with the belief that the pictures in the book would have more color. The only color in the book is black, white and red. The color pictures are on the CD. The book's graphics are HORRIBLE!!

2.0 out of 5 stars I don't think so., May 14, 2005

By	Opinionated - See all my reviews

This book is a mixture of B&W photographs, 2-color diagrams and bad 3-D computer graphics. I didn't open the CD. Frank Netter's work is, in my opinion, very superior.
