Veterinary Neuroanatomy and Clinical Neurology - E-Book

Marc Kent, Eric N. Glass, Alexander De Lahunta

Description

Organized by functional neurologic system, the 3rd edition of this authoritative reference provides the most up-to-date information on neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropathology, and clinical neurology as it applies to small animals, horses, and food animals. Accurate diagnosis is emphasized throughout with practical guidelines for performing neurologic examinations, interpreting examination results, and formulating effective treatment plans. In-depth disease descriptions, color images, and video clips reinforce important concepts and assist with diagnosis and treatment.

• Expert authors bring more than 50 years of experience in veterinary neuroanatomy and clinical neurology to this book — Dr. Alexander DeLahunta and Dr. Eric Glass offer their unique insights from both academic and practitioner perspectives.
• Disease content is presented in a logical case study format with three distinct parts:
• Description of the disorder
• Neuroanatomic diagnosis (including how it was determined, the differential diagnosis, and any available ancillary data)
• Course of the disease (providing final clinical or necropsy diagnosis and a brief discussion of the syndrome)

• NEW! High-quality, state-of-the-art MR images in the Neuroanatomy by Dissection chapter takes an atlas approach to presenting normal brain anatomy of the dog, filling a critical gap in the literature since Marcus Singer’s The Brain of the Dog in Section.
• NEW Uncontrolled Involuntary Skeletal Muscle Contractions chapter provides new coverage of this movement disorder.
• NEW case descriptions offer additional practice in working your way through real-life scenarios to reach an accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment plan for neurologic disorders. 
• NEW! A detailed Video Table of Contents in the front of the book makes it easier to access the videos that correlate to case examples.
