Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisThe update of this classic text links basic concepts in neuroanatomy with clinical correlations. Highly readable and extensively illustrated, the new edition reflects the state-of-the-art in pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological disorders. Discusses the latest advances in molecular and cellular biology in the context of neuroanatomy. The first edition of Correlative Neuroanatomy was the first book published in the Lange series by Dr. Jack Lange in 1945.
