Snell’s Clinical Neuroanatomy , Eighth Edition, equips medical and health professions students with a complete,
clinically oriented understanding of neuroanatomy. Organized classically by system, this revised edition reflects the
latest clinical approaches to neuroanatomy structures and reinforces concepts with enhanced, illustrations,
diagnostic images, and surface anatomy photographs.
Each chapter begins with clear objectives and a clinical case for a practical introduction to key concepts. Throughout
the text, Clinical Notes highlight important clinical considerations.Chapters end with bulleted key concepts, along with
clinical problem solving cases and review questions that test students’ comprehension and ensure preparation for
clinical application.
• Enhanced color illustrations, diagrams, and photographs enrich understanding of complex concepts and
structures.
• New bulleted key concepts in each chapter ensure a focused, clinically relevant understanding of
neuroanatomy.
• Chapter objectives and clinical cases emphasize the practical applications of chapter content.
• Clinical Notes highlight important clinical considerations for quick reference and review.
• Clinical Problem Solving and Chapter Review Questions equip students for the clinical challenges they’ll
encounter in practice.
