About This Title
A complete sample chapter from this book and sample images from the Instructor's CD are available on the sample page.
Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases brings a pioneering interactive approach to the teaching of neuroanatomy, using over 100 actual Clinical Cases and high-quality radiologic images to bring the subject to life. This approach allows students to appreciate the clinical relevance of structural details as they are being learned, and to integrate knowledge of disparate functional systems, since a single lesion may affect several different neural structures and pathways.
Most of the book comprises chapters that explain the major neuroanatomical systems. Each chapter first presents background material including an overview of relevant neuroanatomical structures and pathways, and a brief discussion of related clinical disorders. The second half of each chapter is devoted to clinical cases. The cases begin with a narrative of how the patient developed symptoms, and what deficits were found upon neurological examination. Boldface type highlights important symptoms and signs. A series of questions challenges the reader to deduce the neuroanatomical location of the patient's lesion, and the diagnosis. Discussion and answers follow, and an epilogue reveals the actual outcome.
One of the book's most innovative features is the inclusion of CT and MRI scans that depict each patient's lesion. These radiographs help the reader develop skills in interpreting the same kinds of diagnostic images employed in clinical practice.
The book is intended primarily for first- or second-year medical students enrolled in a basic neuroanatomy, neurobiology or neuroscience course. It is also a valuable resource for advanced medical students and residents, as well as students of other health professions, notably physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, dentistry, speech therapy, and neuropsychology.
An affiliated website (www.neuroexam.com) features an outline and brief video clips of the neurologic exam (addressed in Chapter 3) and, over time, additional clinical case studies. The video clips of the neurologic exam are also available on a VHS tape (The NeuroExam Video) that can be used in classroom settings.

About the Author(s)
Hal Blumenfeld is Assistant Professor in the Departments of Neurology and Neurobiology at Yale University School of Medicine. He has taught neuroanatomy at Harvard, Yale, and Columbia Universities using the approach of Neuroanatomy Through Clinical Cases, which the students greeted with highly favorable feedback. He has been awarded several prestigious grants (from the National Institutes of Health, Pfizer, and the Dana Foundation) to pursue his research, which focuses on epilepsy as a model system for investigating consciousness. Current projects include cellular neurophysiology experiments using brain slices, in vivo recordings from animal models of epilepsy, and SPECT imaging of subcortical seizure foci in humans. His clinical training included an internship in Internal Medicine at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, a residency in Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, and a fellowship in Epilepsy at Yale University School of Medicine. He studied Bioelectrical Engineering at Harvard University, then earned an M.A. and Ph.D. (in Physiology and Cellular Biophysics) as well as his M.D. at Columbia University. Dr. Blumenfeld's previous publications include numerous articles in peer reviewed journals, as well as two volumes in the Let's Go travel guidebook series.

Reviews and Commentary
"Blumenfeld's Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases is ... a benchmark teaching resource, likely destined to become a teaching bible for many years in clinical neurology, including neuropsychology and behavioral neurology. ...The chapters offer a wonderful combination of clinical cases/syndrome review, nicely integrated with a clinical history, neuroimaging results, and findings from a very careful and detailed neurological exam. These are all complemented by some of the very best computer generated graphics and elegant brain plates and other graphical images of structures, connectivities, and systems that one could hope for. ... Buy it."
—Douglas F. Watt, Neuropsychoanalysis
"Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases [makes it] patently clear that an entirely new textbook on something as old and unchanging as the human body and brain can be achieved. And achieved this, the book spectacularly has.
"The unique and innovative qualities of the book lie not only in the clarity of its text and the beauty of its illustrations, but also in its facile ability to seamlessly weave the descriptive with the functional, or the physiological with the clinically relevant. ... To top it all off, an accompanying website with video clips of the neurological exam, and a CD-ROM of all the illustrations (the latter available at extra charge) complement the book and are likely to make it as popular with instructors as with students.
"The author's effort and commitment are evident in the final product: Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases seems a slam-dunk into the classics shelf."
— Andres Martin, José Merino, Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences
"Dr. Hal Blumenfeld has completed the arduous task of providing a comprehensive discussion of neuroanatomy while emphasizing the significance of clinical findings and diagnoses by relating them intimately to precise anatomic localizations. The fact that this is accomplished in a spirit of adventure and enthusiasm makes this achievement all the more admirable. ... The illustrations in this book are exemplary and fit together nicely with the text. ... The accompanying web site offers interactive videos of the individual components of the neurologic examination and is a great resource from which to practice and learn. Though [the author] states that the text is intended primarily for first- or second-year medical students, this is also an excellent book for graduate students, residents, and practicing neurologists eager for a fresh perspective on approaching the study of neuroanatomy."
