지난 30년 동안 전세계적으로 사랑을 받아온 Snell 교수의 대표적 임상신경해부학 교과서 7판 한국어 번역본으로, 복잡하고 난해한 설명을 배제하고 의료인이 되는 데 필요한 신경해부학 지식을 임상의학과 연계하여 명쾌하게 설명하였다. 환자를 진료하는 데 꼭 필요한 신경해부학의 기본 지식을 담고 있으며, 의과대학, 치과대학, 간호대학, 기타 보건 관련 대학의 학생들에게 적합하다. 신경계통의 기능적 구성을 강조하고 신경계통에 손상을 입거나 질병에 걸렸을 때 어떻게 신경 장애가 발생하는지를 설명하였다.
Learning neuroanatomy is like being in a huge maze. Mention it to any medical student who has just had their first encounter with it, and the most likely response you'll get is a heavy sigh. More often that not, medical students faced with the task of understanding neuroanatomy will lose their way and become disheartened as they go along. The subject is vast and complex. Some may end up never quite finding their way out of this maze for their entire medical lives.
Snell's Neuroanatomy is quite comprehensive - it covers a wide range of topics from the neurobiology of neurons to neurodevelopment. At the same time, it is quite understandable. The language used is clear and concise with appropriate diagrams and tables. There is an emphasis on clinical correlations in this book as evidenced by the clinical notes in each chapter, which highlight the clinical significance of the information that has been presented in the chapter. Anatomy with little significance have either been omitted or given only brief descriptions in the book.
Clinical correlation is important, for all too often, students don't realise the practical purpose of what they are learning. Visual aids in the book include images of neuroanatomy in practice as well; quite a number of CT and MRI scans are included. There are also lots of illustrations, pathological sections and photographs. At the end of each chapter, USMLE type questions are provided. On the extremely rare occasion when the thirst for learning neuroanatomy is not satisfied, references to authoritative books and papers are given (yikes!). The whole format and overall presentation of book are similar in style to Professor Snell's more well-known clinical anatomy book.
This book will not give an instantaneous understanding of neuroanatomy but with enough effort and thought, the book does deliver. It shortens and guides one through the potentially confusing and long journey of learning neuroanatomy. All in all, this book covers enough neuroanatomy in sufficient detail to be a good reference text for students and at the same time is quite accessible (considering the subject it deals with) and would function quite well as a primary textbook also.
Comprehension of neuroanatomy and neurobiology are the most difficult tasks I had to face. The complex structures of the brain and spinal cord, their tracts and pathways are an enormous ammount of knowledge that have to be presented to a student withought the unnecessary complexity other books present. This book has really made it simpler for me and gave me the understanding I needed to excell this subject. Although the embryology part wasn't enough for my course, the rest of the book was exceptional! I want to thank the author for this book and for the great work he had put in it.. It is worth at least 5 stars !
