This highly accessible and practical third edition provides medical students with the information needed to build the skills that will aid them in studying for their neuroanatomy courses, clinical rotations, and board exams. It is also indispensable for residents looking for a refresher in neuroanatomy. This edition has been significantly updated with new chapters, including sections on lesions of the peripheral nerves, as well as many revised and improved figures.

To that end, the book prepares students to evaluate a patient's neurological signs and symptoms, logically work through the various tracts, and determine the location of a lesion. This third edition offers a systematic approach to learning neuroanatomy by examining lesions of the nervous system and their resulting signs and symptoms.

As a medical student, it is not ideal to simply memorize a list of symptoms associated with the name of a syndrome. Forget memorizing random isolated factoids with a series of flashcards. This is the point in your education when you need to understand lesion scenarios. To do this, you must integrate everything and develop a big-picture understanding of the nervous system. When you can do this, the details make considerably more sense.

Most importantly, everything in the text is tied to clinical scenarios. Written by a renowned professor with more than 25 years of experience focused on board exam preparation, Medical Neuroanatomy for the Boards and the Clinic received outstanding reviews in its first and second editions. With this updated and expanded third edition, Medical Neuroanatomy for the Boards and the Clinic: Finding the Lesion, 3rd Ed., continues to serve as the go-to resource for students seeking a practical, nuanced, and comprehensible guide to neuroanatomy.
