Clinical Neuroanatomy, 28th Edition, by Stephen G. Waxman, is an illustrated textbook from McGraw-Hill Education / Medical that connects nervous system structure to clinical neurology.
The volume details the organization and function of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves alongside presentations of disease processes involving specific structures. The text covers topics such as cellular development, signaling, sensory systems, and motor control.
Case studies demonstrate how anatomical principles apply to patient care, supporting board review and clinical practice.
