Liebmans Neuroanatomy Made Easy and Understandable Seventh Edition
is an essential resource for students and professionals. The author
leaves out extraneous theories and unnecessary details. Only the basics
of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, physical diagnosis,
and neurology remain. The subject matter is presented in a simple and
personal style. This straightforward approach makes the book much easier
to read and absorb than more convoluted neuroanatomy texts. This
impressive work, now in its seventh edition, includes updated chapters
and appendixes, and some new material: Chapter 12 has an added figure
that summarizes the general plan of the autonomic nervous system, with
extra attention paid to the area of the head; Chapter 13 includes an
original drawing that clarifies and summarizes the origin and
destination of fiber types that pass through the ciliary ganglion; and
Chapter 23, has a significant amount of new material related to
pathologic conditions of the central nervous system. Also, a chapter has
been added that discusses Fragile-X syndrome, Autism, and
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).Whether used as a
textbook, review aid, or professional reference, Liebman's Neuroanatomy Made Easy and Understandable serves students well throughout their medical or allied health education.Contents:
