Detailed knowledge of nervous system anatomy and microsurgical training in the laboratory are essential to understanding the brain. This practical book introduces the Neuroanatomical Lab for medical students, neurosurgical and neurology residents, and neurosurgeons. It addresses all the basic tenets of the laboratory routine, specimens preparations and also details all types of brain dissections.
How to build a Microneurosurgical Lab? How to prepare models for microsurgical training? How to start the Lab Training? How to dissect the important anatomical regions of the brain? All of these questions are discussed in the 15 didactic chapters and are richly illustrated by images. More than an educational manual, this is a fascinating step-by-step guide to starting the anatomical dissection of the brain and for microsurgical training.
From basic to advanced, this work reflects the authors extensive experience, making it an indispensable tool for students and practitioners interested in understanding the brain in-depth.
