Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg : 2011.Description: XXIV, 834p. 615 illus., 349 illus. in color. online resource.ISBN: 9783642191343.Subject(s): Medicine | Neurosciences | Neurology | Biomedicine | Neurosciences | NeurologyDDC classification: 612.8 Online resources: Click here to access online
Contents:
Overview of the human brain and spinal cord -- Vascularization of the brain and spinal cord -- Notes on techniques -- The somatosensory system -- The reticular formation -- The cranial nerves -- The auditory system -- The visual system -- Motor systems -- The cerebellum -- The basal ganglia -- The autonomic nervous system -- The hypothalamus and hypothalamohypophysial systems -- The limbic system -- The cerebral cortex and complex cerebral functions.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: Connections define the functions of neurons: information flows along connections, as well as growth factors and viruses, and even neuronal death may progress through connections. Knowledge of how the various parts of the brain are interconnected to form functional systems is a prerequisite for the proper understanding of data from all fields in the neurosciences. Clinical Neuroanatomy: Brain Circuitry and Its Disorders bridges the gap between neuroanatomy and clinical neurology. It emphasizes human and primate data in the context of disorders of brain circuitry which are so common in neurological practice. In addition, numerous clinical cases demonstrate how normal brain circuitry may be interrupted and to what effect. Following an introduction into the organization and vascularisation of the human brain and the techniques to study brain circuitry, the main neurofunctional systems are discussed, including the somatosensory, auditory, visual, motor, antonomic and limbic systems, the cerebral cortex and complex cerebral functions.
