FOUNDATIONS OF CLINICAL NEUROANATOMY: A Comprehensive, Case-Integrated Visual Textbook of Structure, Pathways, Lesion Localization, and Diagnostic Reasoning for Medical and Health Sciences

Foundations of Clinical Neuroanatomy: A Comprehensive, Case-Integrated Visual Textbook of Structure, Pathways, Lesion Localization, and Diagnostic Reasoning for Medical and Health Sciences From the cerebral cortex through the brainstem and spinal cord, from cranial nerve origins through the autonomic nervous system — Foundations of Clinical Neuroanatomy delivers the full scope of neuroanatomical science as it applies to clinical practice in a single, thoroughly organized volume. Whether you are learning neuroanatomy for the first time or reinforcing your understanding for clinical rotations, this textbook provides the structural depth and clinical context you need in one place. The organization is intentional and systematic. Each region of the nervous system is presented from foundational anatomy through functional pathway mapping through lesion localization and diagnostic reasoning — so you develop the ability not simply to label structures, but to think through neurological problems the way clinicians do at the bedside. Clinical cases are woven directly into the anatomical content, reinforcing every concept with the diagnostic scenarios you will face in practice. This is not a book where cases appear as an afterthought in a final appendix — they are integrated at every level, connecting anatomy to the reasoning that makes it clinically meaningful. Neuroanatomical learning demands more than static text. This textbook includes more than 100 clinical procedure and teaching videos accessible through integrated QR codes, bringing neural pathways, examination techniques, and anatomical relationships to life beyond the printed page. Clinical images and illustrations are present throughout every section, ensuring that you see what you are learning — from cross-sectional brainstem anatomy to dermatome maps to cranial nerve examination findings. Inside this volume: Cerebral cortex anatomy, functional areas, and cortical lesion syndromes Brainstem cross-sectional anatomy with vascular territory correlation Spinal cord tracts, segmental organization, and dermatomal mapping Cranial nerve anatomy, functional components, and examination techniques Major ascending and descending neural pathway systems Autonomic nervous system organization and clinical dysfunction patterns Lesion localization methodology applied to real clinical presentations Case-integrated diagnostic reasoning exercises throughout More than 100 clinical teaching videos via integrated QR codes Clinical images and illustrations in every section Designed for medical students, physician assistant students, nurse practitioner students, neuroscience graduate students, and practicing clinicians who need a neuroanatomy resource that bridges the gap between anatomical science and bedside neurological reasoning. Connect structure to function, function to dysfunction, and dysfunction to diagnosis — starting from the anatomy up.
