Main description:

The ninth edition of Inderbir Singh’s Textbook of Human Neuroanatomy has been fully revised to provide undergraduate medical students with the most recent information in the field. Beginning with an introduction, each of the following chapters discusses the anatomy of a different part of the nervous system.

Presented in a new, easy to understand format, each chapter begins with ‘Specific Learning Objectives’ which highlight the key concepts of that topic; and ends with multiple choice questions for self-assessment.

This new edition features more than 360 illustrations and tables, and includes photographs of dissected brain specimens to assist understanding.
