Cranial Nerves: Anatomy and Clinical Comments

Product Review

Featuring three-dimensional, colour-coded illustrations, this classic work describes how the 12 major nerve systems connect the brain to the body systems they control. The drawings show the course and position of each nerve, as well as its functional modalities: this allows students to learn not only the location of each nerve system, but how the systems act in concert to perform specific functions. This text serves as a teaching tool for all health science students who study neuro- and gross anatomy, including students in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing and physical therapy.

Excellent book for med or grad students in Neuroscience, March 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cranial Nerves: Anatomy and Clinical Comments (Paperback)

Cranial Nerves is great for helping medical and graduate students understand some of the spatial relationships with cranial nerves. It gives a clear and concise review of each cranial nerve and then adds some valuable clinical aspects. The use of color coding throughout the book helps the student to follow a cranial nerve or component throughout the various diagrams in a logical fashion. Most of my class has or has borrowed this book even though it is not even listed on the required or recommended readings for the Neuroscience class! All in all a wonderful book.

Each cranial nerve in detail, December 8, 2004

This review is from: Cranial Nerves: Anatomy and Clinical Comments (Paperback)

I wish I would have found this book earlier! It is an excellent resource for neuro/anatomy.

It maps out each cranial nerve, explains its course, functions, etc. in clear text. I liked how it had a different color for each modality (general sensory afferent, branchial motor, etc.) and how it explained areas in which there are differing opinions; it helped me to reason things out when texts/professors conflicted.

Thank goodness a kind soul handed this down to me, because I think $43 is a bit steep....

Best Cranial Nerve Review, May 19, 2004

This review is from: Cranial Nerves: Anatomy and Clinical Comments (Paperback)

In my opinion, this is the best cranial nerve review book out there. It leads you through each of the cranial nerves. The origins of each component of each nerve are listed and each one traced through it's various foramina and nuclei.
