Nolte's The Human Brain in Photographs and Diagrams - Elsevier eBook on VitalSource (Retail Access Card), 5th Edition

• Features more than 600 high-quality figures including brain sections (transverse, coronal, axial, sagittal), 3-D reconstructions, MRIs and angiography, illustrated pathways that help you visualize anatomical structures and neuropathology.
• Presents a systemic series of unlabelled whole brain sections next to corresponding sections with important structures outlined and labelled.
• Includes a NEW chapter: An Introduction to Neuropathology, as well as NEW review questions online.
• Helps you understand the connections between functional systems with detailed diagrams that incorporate actual brain and spinal cord sections.
• Features clinical content throughout that shows how neuroanatomy applies to clinical practice.
• Discusses every labelled structure in the highly illustrated glossary at the end of the book.
• Shows major structures and major transitions in higher magnification for greater detail, and features bold index entries to indicate particularly clear illustrations of a given structure.
• Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references – including 68 bonus dissection videos – from the book on a variety of devices.
