This second edition title provides medical students and residents with the information to build skills that will aid them in studying for any level of their board exams. It also prepares students with the ability to look at a patient s neurological signs and symptoms, logically think through the various tracts, and determine where a lesion is located.

This 2nd edition book is a systematic approach to learning neuroanatomy by studying various lesions to the nervous system and their subsequent signs and symptoms. If you are a medical student, this is not the time for simply memorizing a list of symptoms that go along with the name of a syndrome. Forget memorizing random isolated factoids with a series of flash cards. This is the point in your education when you need to understand the lesion scenarios. To do this you need to put everything together and develop a big picture view of the nervous system. When you can do this, then the details will make a lot more sense.
