The Integrated Nervous System: A Systematic Diagnostic Approach

Christopher R. Skinner,Walter J. Hendelman,Peter Humphreys

To demonstrate the connection between academic neuroanatomy and the practice of clinical neurology, this textbook presents clinical cases that illustrate how the nervous system is constructed and how it functions under normal circumstances. It teaches students how to integrate a patient's clinical history and examination with neuroanatomy.

Summary

The First Textbook to Take an Integrative Approach to Neurological Diagnosis

This introductory, full-color text teaches students and practitioners how to combine neurological history and physical examination so they can localize pathologies within the nervous system and determine appropriate treatment. It provides a wealth of illustrations that emphasize the functioning nervous system, in addition to an invaluable DVD for further exploration and access to a state-of-the-art website with additional materials that are updated periodically.
