Description

The ambition of most traditional approaches to neuroanatomy is to provide a factual armamentarium for the solution of medical problems or for the more exacting needs of neurologists and neuroanatomists. The narrative approach proposed by the authors and the inclusion of historical context are meant to engage both the medical and non-medical reader and to provide deeper insight to the subject matter than is possible by the mere presentation of facts. This text is based on material presented to medical students, residents and physician assistants in the classroom and clinical setting and in grand rounds presentations in departments of neurology and psychiatry at NYU, Cabrini, Woodhull, Manhattan State, and other local institutions. Valuable feedback from these settings has enabled the authors to hone their presentation to be of value to this wide compass of readership.
