Neuroanatomia - estruturas, seções e sistemas


Abaixo, um trecho da Introdução deste livro, que tem ilustrações excelentes.

Understanding CNS structure is the basis for learning pathways, neural function, and for developing the skill to diagnose the neurologically impaired patient. Following a brief period devoted to the study of CNS morphology, a significant portion of many courses is spent learning functional systems. This learning experience may take place in the laboratory because it is here that the student deals with images of representative levels of the entire neuraxis. However, few attempts have been made to provide the student with a comprehensive and integrated guide—one that correlates, 1) external brain anatomy with MRI and blood supply; 2) meninges and ventricles with examples of meningeal, ventricular, and brain hemorrhage; 3) internal brain anatomy with MRI, blood supply, the organization of tracts and nuclei and selected clinical examples; 4) summaries of clinically relevant pathways with neurotransmitters, numerous clinical correlations, and the essential concept of laterality; and 5) includes a large variety of images such as angiogram, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and magnetic resonance venography (MRV).

The present atlas addresses these points. The goal is not only to show external and internal structure per se but also to demonstrate that the relationship between brain anatomy and MRI/CT, the blood supply to specific areas of the CNS and the arrangement of pathways located therein, the neuroactive substances associated with pathways, and examples of clinical deficits are inseparable components of the learning
experience. An effort has been made to provide a format that is dynamic and flexible—one that makes the learning experience an interesting and rewarding exercise.
