Easily master the anatomy and basic physiology of the nervous system in this concise, student-friendly update of this distinguished textbook

A Textbook of Neuroanatomy has long served as the essential student introduction to the anatomy and systems of the brain. Covering brain organization, neural connections, and neural pathways in an accessible style, it contains the fundamental neurophysiology of every major brain area. Now fully updated to reflect the latest research and clinical data, it's an essential resource for students in the life sciences with an interest in neuroscience.

Readers of the third edition of A Textbook of Neuroanatomy will also find:

• New photomicrographic presentations of key anatomical structures
• New clinically-relevant topics in each chapter, including board-style questions
• Supplemental website incorporating figures, quizzes, bioinformatics worksheets, case studies, and more

A Textbook of Neuroanatomy is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in neuroscience, neurology, and general clinical behavioral neuroscience and neuroanatomy.

Maria A. Patestas, PhD, is a retired Professor of Emerita in the Anatomy Department at Des Moines University. In her career she has accumulated over 31 years of teaching experience of the anatomical subdisciplines, including Neuroanatomy, Cell and Tissue Biology, Human Development and Gross Anatomy to medical, podiatric, physical therapy, physician assistant and graduate students. She has received the Distinguished Teaching Award, the Dean's Basic Scientist Educator Award, and the Distinguished Scholar Award.

Amanda J. Meyer, PhD, FHEA, is a Senior Lecturer in the Discipline of Anatomy and Pathology within the College of Medicine and Dentistry at James Cook University in Townsville, Queensland, Australia.
