Editorial Review: Book Description: Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases brings a pioneering interactive approach to the teaching of neuroanatomy, using over 100 actual Clinical Cases and high-quality radiologic images to bring the subject to life. This approach allows students to appreciate the clinical relevance of structural details as they are being learned, and to integrate knowledge of disparate functional systems, since a single lesion may affect several different neural structures and pathways. Most of the book comprises chapters that explain the major neuroanatomical systems. Each chapter first presents background material including an overview of relevant neuroanatomical structures and pathways, and a brief discussion of related clinical disorders. The second half of each chapter is devoted to clinical cases. The cases begin with a narrative of how the patient developed symptoms, and what deficits were found upon neurological examination. Boldface type highlights important symptoms and signs. A series of questions challenges the reader to deduce the neuroanatomical location of the patient's lesion, and the diagnosis. Discussion and answers follow, and an epilogue reveals the actual outcome. One of the book's most innovative features is the inclusion of CT and MRI scans that depict each patient's lesion. These radiographs help the reader develop skills in interpreting the same kinds of diagnostic images employed in clinical practice. The book is intended primarily for first- or second-year medical students enrolled in a basic neuroanatomy, neurobiology or neuroscience course. It is also a valuable resource for advanced medical students and residents, as well as students of other health professions, notably physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, dentistry, speech therapy, and neuropsychology. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - the best book to start your neurologyI had all the neurology books over the planet.This book is the best you can start your neurology residency with.It's not a management book no its diagnosis book.This is the first book every neurology resident should get without any doubt. Rating: - Great bookThis is a very useful and smart book. I recomend it for every medicine student and also graduated that do not dominate anatomy. Rating: - Great for the advanced non-neurologistGreat intermediate text for those of needing an understanding of functional neuroanatomy who aren't necessarily in medical school. Blumenfeld uses several case examples to demonstrate how patients with neurological problems present in the real world clinic. Good use of graphics and online-video. As a graduate student in neuropsychology, I frequently turn to this textbook for reference. Rating: - Best book for neuroscience in med schoolThis is definitely the book I used most for my neuroscience course. It had great mnemonics, clear pictures of the tracts, and several clinical cases for each chapter. Out of the several books I used for this class, this was the most helpful. It mentioned topics like blobs/interblobs that weren't mentioned in any other books, including BRS and Purves. Several images were even used during lecture by my professors. Rating: - highly recommendedi'm a fourth year resident in medicine.i've read so many clinical neuroanatomy books over the past 10 years,but this book is the only one that's given me the ability to identify the exact neurological problem of my patients in hospital.go ahead and order it you won't regret it!
