Review & Description

This classic, succinct, well-illustrated textbook simplifies neuroscience content to focus coverage on the essentials and helps students learn important neuroanatomical facts and definitions. Descriptions and illustrations of the regional anatomy of the central nervous system are followed by accounts of the functional pathways. The level of treatment is suited to increasingly shorter neuroanatomy courses for medical and allied health students.

The Ninth Edition features new and improved artwork, updates in current trends and terminology, and additions/updates to the Cranial Nerves chapter and Cells of the Nervous System chapter.

A companion Website offers online text, more than 450 interactive multiple-choice review questions, case studies, glossary, eponyms, abbreviations, an expanded version of selected chapters, and images from the book.

Review & Description

Written by the author of the classic medical student text Essential Histology, this volume uses a case study format to help students relate histology to clinical medicine. Each chapter focuses on an organ system and begins with clinical case histories, illustrations of biopsied tissues, and challenging questions about the tissues and medical conditions. Dr. Cormack then delineates the medically relevant histologic features of the tissues that comprise the organ system. At the end of the chapter are discussions of the cases and thoroughly explained answers to the questions. More than 300 photomicrographs and line drawings, including 162 in full color, complement the text.Clinically Integrated Histology is an ideal guide for problem-based learning or other forms of self-directed learning. It is also valuable when used in conjunction with Essential Histology to focus students' attention on the clinically important concepts emphasized on exams.

    Review & Description

    This CD-ROM with accompanying manual will introduce medical, allied health, and undergraduate students to the logic of anatomical thinking and the microscopic structure of the body's tissues. Its correlation of low power with high power views, the quality of its images, and the ease of using the CD will be particularly attractive features. It is not a full electronic atlas with hyperlinks of pictures to text but rather a review of morphology that supplements the history lab where students look through a microscope at slides of tissue specimens.
