Brain, Part 1 of The Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations: Nervous System, 2nd Edition, provides a highly visual
guide to this complex organ, from basic neurodevelopment, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and cognition to classic
disorders including to epilepsy, hypothalamus/pituitary with disorders of consciousness and sleep, movement disorders,
cerebellum, stroke, multiple sclerosis, neurologic infections, neuro-oncology, headaches, and brain trauma. This
spectacularly illustrated volume in the masterwork known as the (CIBA) Netter "Green Books" has been expanded and
revised by Drs. H. Royden Jones, Jr., Ted M. Burns, Michael J. Aminoff, and Scott L. Pomeroy to mirror the many
exciting advances in medicine and imaging - offering unparalleled insights into the broad clinical spectrum of brain
disorders.
Key Features
뷛et complete, integrated visual guidance on the brain with thorough, richly illustrated coverage.
뷦uickly understand complex topics thanks to a concise text-atlas format that provides a context bridge between primary
and specialized medicine.
뷖learly visualize how core concepts of anatomy, physiology, and other basic sciences correlate across disciplines.
뷓enefit from matchless Netter illustrations that offer precision, clarity, detail and realism as they provide a visual
approach to the clinical presentation and care of the patient.
New to this Edition
뷛ain a rich clinical view of all aspects of the brain in one comprehensive volume, conveyed through beautiful
illustrations as well as up-to-date radiologic images.
뷖learly see the connection between basic science and clinical practice with an integrated overview of normal structure
and function as it relates to pathologic conditions.
뷛rasp current clinical concepts regarding development, pediatrics, and adult medicine captured in classic Netter
illustrations, as well as new illustrations created specifically for this volume by artist-physician Carlos Machado,
MD, and others working in the Netter style.
