This thoroughly revised and updated edition (second was 1987) of Dr. Snell's
popular text presents the practical aspects of neuroanatomy in a simplified
manner for first and second year medical students, as well as dental and allied
health students. The wealth of illustrations are purposely simple and mainly
diagrammatic. National Board type questions have been included at the end of
each chapter. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
