Summary Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy delivers a clear, logical discussion of the complex relationship between neuroanatomical structure and function and neurologic disease. Written in an engagin, concise style, this unique text offers a succint overview of fundamental neuroanatomy and the clincal localization principles necessary to diagnose and treat patients with neurologic diseases. Unlike other neurology textbooks that either focus on neuroanatomy or clincal neurology, Clincal Neurology and Neuroanatomy integrates the two in a manner which simulates the way neurologists learn, teach, and think. - Provided by publisher.
