Summary:

Previous editions of this best-selling atlas gave students a structural basis for understanding the function of the central nervous system by integrating neuroanatomical and clinical information. This new Sixth edition continues the clinically oriented approach, presenting structural information and concepts in an even more clinically relevant format. The goal is to ensure that the transfer of basic science information to the clinical environment is easy, immediate, and seamless. Many changes and improvements have been made to meet this goal. First, over 110 new images and illustrations were added (including MRI, CT, color line drawings, and brain specimens) to emphasize anatomical-clinical correlations. Anatomical information on the brainsteam and spinal cord is now shown in the same orientation in which it is viewed in the diagnostic setting. Presenting the anatomical information in this format allows the information to be immediately accessible, and applicable, to the requirements of the clinical environment. Figure descriptions have also been improved. In some instances, existing figures have been relocated to improve their correlation with other images. In other instances, existing figures have been repeated and correlated with newly-added MRI and CT so as to more clearly illustrate an anatomical-clinical correlation. With these improvements, this atlas has an even stronger clinical emphasis than ever before.
