Description
Veterinary Neuroanatomy: A Clinical Approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the nervous system in animals, focusing on its functional and applied anatomy and clinical dysfunction. The book offers a user-friendly approach, covering the essential elements needed to interpret the results of the neurological examination. Clinical cases are used to illustrate key concepts throughout, making it an ideal resource for veterinary students, practitioners, and those with a special interest in clinical neuroanatomy. The book begins with an overview of the nervous system's anatomical arrangement, basic embryological development, and microscopic anatomy and physiology. It then presents an innovative, hierarchical approach to understanding the overall function of the nervous system, covering topics such as posture and movement, the vestibular system, and cranial nerves. The final chapter addresses how to perform and interpret the neurological examination. With 35 years of combined teaching experience, the authors have carefully crafted the text to explain key concepts in a transparent and memorable way, minimising jargon. The book includes detailed information for those with specific interests in clinical neuroanatomy, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the nervous system in animals.
