Book excerpt: This second edition title provides medical students and residents with the information to build skills that will aid them in studying for any level of their board exams. It also prepares students with the ability to look at a patient’s neurological signs and symptoms, logically think through the various tracts, and determine where a lesion is located. This 2nd edition book is a systematic approach to learning neuroanatomy by studying various lesions to the nervous system and their subsequent signs and symptoms. If you are a medical student, this is not the time for simply memorizing a list of symptoms that go along with the name of a syndrome. Forget memorizing random isolated factoids with a series of flash cards. This is the point in your education when you need to understand the lesion scenarios. To do this you need to put everything together and develop a big picture view of the nervous system. When you can do this, then the details will make a lot more sense. With that said, everything that follows in the text is related to clinical scenarios. Fully updated and greatly expanded with content (including a neuroanatomy atlas) this unique and comprehensive textbook received outstanding reviews in the first edition. Including 100 high-yield neuroanatomy key phrases and a cross section of images with lesion test questions, this title specifically fills a gap in the literature for medical students studying for their board exams and those about to go on a neuro-related rotation. Written by a renowned professor with over 25 years of teaching experience specific to board exam preparation, chapters are crafted with the goal of aiding students in understanding concepts by explaining the reasoning behind signs and symptoms, rather than pure memorization. Medical Neuroanatomy for the Boards and the Clinic, 2nd edition, is the go-to book for students seeking a practical yet nuanced reference for board exam preparation.​ Provides 100 high-yield neuroanatomy key phrases Features cross section images with lesion test questions Written with the medical student in mind who is studying for board exams
