Ideal for students of neuroanatomy, neuroscience, and related medical or science disciplines, Netter’s Atlas of Neuroscience, 4th Edition, offers a highly visual and clinically oriented exploration of structure and function, spanning neurons to motor and sensory systems, as well as global neural function and dysfunction. This award-winning text approaches the complex topic of neuroscience from three key perspectives: Neuroscience Overview, Regional Neuroscience, and Systemic Neuroscience.
Illustrations by Frank H. Netter, MD, along with contributions from others in his tradition, are complemented by concise expert text, neuroimaging, photomicrographs, and summary diagrams. The book effectively combines Netter-style illustrations and beautiful molecular and cellular images with succinct text and clinical insights, delivering essential information for both basic science and clinical programs.
Key features include:
- Organized summaries of neurosciences, allowing students to review complex concepts, functions, and systems in various contexts.
- An overview of cellular and molecular neuroscience, covering peripheral nerves, spinal cord, brain stem, cerebellum, and brain, along with discussions on neural vasculature, meninges, cerebrospinal fluid, and developmental neuroscience.
- Highlights of cross-sectional spinal cord and brain stem anatomy, featuring side-by-side comparisons of Netter illustrations and MRIs of axial and coronal brain sections, enriched with extensive clinical correlations.
- A focus on foundational concepts alongside clinically relevant discussions, expanding on neural connectivity and the functional roles of limbic structures and behavior.
- A new chapter reviewing Global Neural Functions and Disorders, featuring over a dozen new art plates.
- Inclusion of many new art plates addressing current topics such as the neural foundations of addiction, dementias, neuropsychiatric disorders, consciousness, coma assessment, sleep regulation, postnatal and adult neurogenesis, and endogenous opioid and cannabinoid systems.
