Book Description:

This book presents the anatomical systems that take part in the scientific and clinical study of emotional functions and neuropsychiatric disorders. It discusses the limbic system (the cortical and subcortical structures in the human brain involved in emotion, motivation, and emotional association with memory) at length and how this is no longer a useful guide to the study of psychiatric disorders. The book provides an understanding of brain anatomy, with an emphasis on the new anatomical framework which has emerged during the last quarter century. The goal is to provide the reader will develop an understanding of the gross anatomical organisation of the human forebrain.

1) The book provides an understanding of brain anatomy, with an emphasis on the new anatomical framework which has emerged during the last quarter century

2) The reader will develop an understanding of the gross anatomical organisation of the human forebrain

3) The origin and meaning of terms such as ventral stiatum, ventral pallidum and cortico-subcorticalreentrant circuits, which are increasingly familiar terms in basic and clinical neuroscience, are discussed

4) The extended amygdala and its place in the functional-anatomical organisation of the brain, is discussed

5) The greater limbic lobe and its particular relevance in neuropsyciatric disorders, is presented

6) The role of functional neurosurgery in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders is presented

7) The challenges that lie ahead in the field of deep brain stimulation are discussed

8) The book included 2 dvd's of brain dissection, particularly useful for the course instructor

Clinical Anatomy: A Revision and Applied Anatomy for Clinical Students by: Harold Ellis

Publisher: Blackwell Publishers
Number Of Pages: 460
Publication Date: 2002-10
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0632051957
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780632051953
Binding: Paperback

Product Description:

Westminster Medical School, London, UK. Revised edition provides an understanding of anatomy in its clinical context. Presents a regional approach to surface anatomy and a detailed discussion of each organ. Emphasizes the clinical significance by how the injury or disease affects the structure. Erratum included for page 354. Previous edition: c1997. Softcover.

Summary: excellent quality
Rating: 5

The book was brand new; no highlighting or writing or torn pages. I'm very satisfied.

Summary: Anatomy made memorable for students at all stages
Rating: 5

In this compact text clinical anatomist and professor of surgery Harold Ellis has produced another excellent text (like Lecture Notes on General Surgery).

This "pocket-sized" (big pockets) book is portable and practical. It is well laid out by sections and each body area is examined in terms of systems. A clear explanation of superficial anatomy allows one to learn/revise on oneself (or a slim/muscular friend) the bony landmarks, muscular attachments and pulses. Bones, joints, vessels and nerves are dissected in a similar manner. Best of all, at each stage, common clinical applications are explained in clear language, so that it becomes easy to remember which nerve may be damaged by a dislocated shoulder, or structures are encountered in the various approaches for a hemiarthroplasty. The lucid (though never condescending) prose is well complemented by clear diagrams and imaging.

Some people will find this book is not detailed enough for them, and it does not claim to be a definitive anatomy text covering everything down to the vein supplying the rhubarb gland, but many more students will find it perfectly adequate for their requirements. Certainly as someone who learned lists of anatomy for first year exams, passed them, and -- I'm not alone here -- promptly forgot it afterwards, the old comprehensive parrot-fashion approach to learning was ineffective.

If you can read and recall all of the information in this book, you will be well prepared for most casual clinical requirements in many non-surgical specialities. I find that information presented in this manner is easy, even pleasurable, to read and, I expect, more likely to lead to retention than traditional dry anatomy texts.

Summary: A life saver for examination
Rating: 5

It saved my life when I did my 1st MB exam, my final MB exam and my FRCS exam. The best investment in my life.

Summary: Good for quick review.
Rating: 4

Concise overview of regional anatomy with emphasis on key relationships and clinical relevance. Not a comprehensive or detailed oriented anatomy but useful for quick review in the clinical setting.

Summary: Good for those who know what they want
Rating: 4

This is not going to teach you all the anatomy you want to know in a small book. It is concise, as it assumes you have some idea about anatomy, and just want pointers to keep up to date and also what is relevant clinically.

Review:

Nice book

Its a nice book and comprehesive it guides you and puts your feet more on the ground because all molecular thigns you learn has a clinical implication. i like the book even thought it only has less than 4 images and poor explications of cases, so read it with an internal medicine book for anythings to clarify
