Snell’s Clinical Neuroanatomy

 

Approachable in detail and rich with dynamic illustrations, Snell’s Clinical Neuroanatomy, 9th Edition, is your complete, clinically oriented introduction to neuroanatomy.

This easy-to-use text is organized classically by body system, introducing basic components of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system before moving on to more complex functions.

 This revised and enhanced 9th 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.
