Summary:

A regional and functional approach to learning human neuroanatomy New full-color images Neuroanatomy:Text and Atlas covers neuroanatomy from both a functional and regional perspective to provide an understanding of how the components of the central nervous system work together to sense the world around us, regulate body systems, and produce behavior. This trusted text thoroughly covers the sensory, motor, and integrative skills of the brains and presents an overview of the function in relation to structure and the locations of the major pathways and neuronal integrative regions. Neuroanatomy:Text and Atlas also teaches you how to interpret the new wealth of human brain images by developing an understanding of the anatomical localization of brain function. The authoritative core content of myelin-stained histological sections is enhanced by informative line illustrations, angiography, and brain views produced by MRI, and other imaging technologies. NEW to this edition: Revised and updated to reflect advances in clinical neuroanatomy and neural scienceFull-color illustrations have been added to enrich the textChapters begin with a clinical case to illustrate the connections and functions of the key materialChapters end with a series of multiple-choice review questions Features and Benefits: Increases knowledge of the regional and functional organization of the spinal cord and brain, one system at a timeProvides thorough coverage of the sensory, motor, and integrative systems of the brain, together with cerebral vasculaturePromotes understanding of the complex details of neuroanatomy needed for accurate interpretation of radiological imageComprehensive atlas provides key views of the surface anatomy of the central nervous systems and photographs of myelin-stained sections in three anatomical planesIncludes learning aids such as clinical

topics, boxes, chapter summaries, and a Glossary of key terms and structures.

Guide to Using This Book

Section I: The Central Nervous System

1. Organization of the Central Nervous System

Neurons and Glia Are the Two Principal Cellular Constituents of the Nervous System

The Nervous System Consists of Separate Peripheral and Central Components

The Spinal Cord Displays the Simplest Organization of All Seven Major Divisions

The Brain Stem and Cerebellum Regulate Body Functions and Movements

The Diencephalon Consists of the Thalamus and Hypothalamus

The Cerebral Hemispheres Have the Most Complex Shape of All Central Nervous System Divisions

Cavities Within the Central Nervous System Contain Cerebrospinal Fluid

The Central Nervous System Is Covered by Three Meningeal Layers

An Introduction to Neuroanatomical Terms

2. Structural and Functional Organization of the Central Nervous System

The Dorsal Column-Medial Lemniscal System and Corticospinal Tract Have a Component at Each Level of the Neuraxis

The Modulatory Systems of the Brain Have Diffuse Connections and Use Different Neurotransmitters

Guidelines for Studying the Regional Anatomy and Interconnections of the Central Nervous System

The Spinal Cord Has a Central Cellular Region Surrounded by a Region That Contains Myelinated Axons

Surface Features of the Brain Stem Mark Key Internal Structures

The Thalamus Transmits Information From Subcortical Structures to the Cerebral Cortex

The Internal Capsule Contains Ascending and Descending Axons

Cerebral Cortex Neurons Are Organized Into Layers

3. Vasculature of the Central Nervous System and the Cerebrospinal Fluid

Neural Tissue Depends on Continuous Arterial Blood Supply

The Vertebral and Carotid Arteries Supply Blood to the Central Nervous System

The Spinal and Radicular Arteries Supply Blood to the Spinal Cord.

The Vertebral and Basilar Arteries Supply Blood to the Brain Stem

The Internal Carotid Artery Has Four Principal Portions

The Anterior and Posterior Circulations Supply the Diencephalon and Cerebral Hemispheres

Cerebral Veins Drain Into the Dural Sinuses

The Blood-Brain Barrier Isolates the Chemical Environment of the Central Nervous System From That of the Rest of the Body

Cerebrospinal Fluid Serves Many Diverse Functions
