Netter's Atlas of Neuroscience, 5th Edition – Felten, O'Banion & Maida Premium Multicolor Matt Print

Neuroanatomy is the subject most medical students decide they are bad at. It is rarely true. What defeats people is that the brain has to be learned three ways at once — as a set of structures, as regions that sit next to each other, and as systems whose parts are scattered far apart — and most books only teach one of those at a time.

Netter's Atlas of Neuroscience is built around that problem. It covers the nervous system first in overview, then region by region, then system by system, so you meet the same structures repeatedly from different angles. The illustrations are by Frank H. Netter, MD, and artists working in his tradition, set alongside neuroimaging, photomicrographs, summary diagrams and clinical correlations.

New in This Edition

• New artwork on primary afferents, neuropeptides and small-molecule messengers, and neurotransmitter circuitry through the basal ganglia
• New artwork on autism spectrum disorder and ADHD
• Revised and expanded coverage of cortical, cerebellar and basal ganglia circuitry
• Additional clinical coverage of seizures, cerebral palsy, meningitis and vertigo

What This Book Covers

Seventeen chapters in four sections:

• Section I — Overview of the Nervous System: neurons and their properties; skull and meninges; brain; brainstem and cerebellum; spinal cord; ventricles and cerebrospinal fluid; vasculature; developmental neuroscience
• Section II — Regional Neuroscience: peripheral nervous system; spinal cord; brainstem and cerebellum; diencephalon; telencephalon
• Section III — Systemic Neuroscience: sensory systems; motor systems; autonomic, hypothalamic and limbic systems
• Section IV — Global Brain Functions

That is the structure doing the teaching. You see the brainstem in Section I as an object, in Section II as a region with its neighbours and blood supply, and in Section III as part of the sensory, motor and autonomic pathways running through it.

Key Features

• Netter illustrations throughout, with artwork by artists working in his tradition
• Neuroimaging and photomicrographs alongside the drawings, so you can match the artwork to what a real scan and a real section look like
• Summary diagrams for reviewing complex circuitry at a glance
• Clinical correlations attached to the anatomy rather than separated from it
• Cellular and molecular foundations as well as gross structure
• Full coverage of vasculature, meninges, CSF and developmental neuroscience — the parts usually squeezed out

Who Is This Book For?

• MBBS students working through neuroanatomy and neurophysiology
• Neurology and neurosurgery trainees
• FCPS candidates needing the anatomy underneath the clinical questions
• Psychiatry trainees who want the circuitry behind the conditions they treat
• Physiotherapy, radiography and allied health students studying the nervous system
• Anyone teaching neuroanatomy who needs clear figures to teach from
