Description
When all you need is a basic understanding of the human nervous system, look
to Cram Session in Functional Neuroanatomy: A Handbook for Students & Clinicians.
This handbook gives you basic information in a readily accessible format, as
well as more detailed concepts that will allow you to better understand not
only how the human nervous system works, but how injuries and disease affect
experience and behavior, including cognitive and intellectual functions.
Cram Session in Functional Neuroanatomy: A Handbook for Students & Clinicians
by Dr. Michael F. Nolan is a concise and illustrated quick reference that highlights
important anatomical and physiological principles of the nervous system. These
key points will enhance understanding of the nervous system and how specific
populations of nerve cells and neural systems influence human experience and
behavior.
WHAT IS IN YOUR CRAM SESSION
· Concise and focused explanations of topics specifically related to
neuroanatomy
· Topic self-assessment questions formatted as short answer exercises,
ideal for exam review and preparation
· List of laboratory structures – an excellent tool to aid faculty
with additional methods of learning
· More than 75 photographs and illustrations

Reviews
“Compared to textbooks on this topic, this handbook makes functional neuroanatomy easy to understand, presenting it in a concise and clear manner. The author has filtered the detailed information and provided a simple review and summary. I recommend this book for practicing clinicians and students who are in the process of learning and understanding neuroanatomy. It is easy to understand and it provides an excellent overview.”
