Fourth edition
by James D. Fix
Now in its Fourth Edition, High-Yield Neuroanatomy extracts the most important information on neuroanatomy and presents it in a concise, uncluttered fashion to prepare students for course exams and the USMLE.
Highlights of this edition include:
- a brief glossary of key neuroanatomical structures and disease states
- addition of an icon to more clearly identify the Clinical Correlations sections
- an appendicized table of common neurological lesions
- expanded figure legends that identify clinically relevant anatomical relationships
- an improved, expanded index; and modified text and figure legends to comply with Terminologia Anatomica
A companion Website will offer bonus USMLE-style questions.
