All other figures have been included., Extensively rewritten and reorganized, the second edition of this renowned neuroanatomy textbook now includes MR and CT scans precisely correlated with both normal anatomy and clinical examples. The updated and expanded dissection guide, unique to this book, is now even more thoroughly integrated with the text. The second edition also features over 100 new illustrations; a new chapter on chemical neuroanatomy; greatly expanded chapters on neurohistology, neuroanatomic techniques, amygdaloid body and extended amygdala, and hippocampal formation; and a bibliography of references in neuroanatomy and related fields., Of special note: In fall 1994, Springer-Verlag will publish, in cooperation with Image PSL, a laser videodisc to acccompany this book. The disc will feature full-motion demonstrations of dissections of the human brain, plus an extensive atlas of drawings, photographs, and radiographic images of the human brain and spinal cord.
