Veterinary Neuroanatomy: A Clinical Approach

This book is well-written, concise and full of color diagrams and photos that all add to the learning experience. Where other books (such as de Lahunta) may be more detailed, they can be harder to read and sometimes you don't see the wood for the trees (though I'm still learning from de Lahunta on the 3rd or 4th read and it makes an excellent reference text).Thomson and Hahn have distilled out the essentials of veterinary neuroanatomy and provide it in a clear and concise manner - this lays an excellent foundation for further reading if needed or desired. Concepts are used to explain certain points or simplify an anatomical or physiological system, and these are, for the most part, a useful way of thinking about things. I only wish this book had been written several years ago at the start of my career!

Fantastic book to best understand how the nervous system communicates with itself and to understand the functional role of each aspect. I highly recommend this book because as a DVM student it has really helped me better connect physiology to neuroanatomy and localization of neurologic lesions. That being said, I would not recommend this book as your only source of study. Some of my classmates attempted to use this book as their only study reference and have not built a solid enough understanding of what is going on and thus I would recommend supplementing with a great physiology book like Duke's Veterinary Physiology.

This is an awesome neuro book. Dr. Christine Thomson was my first year vet school professor. She knows her... stuff.... There are real case examples/pictures. The information is straight-forward and easy to comprehend but is still at the graduate level. I will reference this book throughout my career and feel confident that the information is correct and as well as useful. Seriously, no need to spend beaucoup bucks for any other intro to neuro book, this one is amazing!

I have been teaching small animal clinical neurology for more than 20 years and at last, here is a book that gets it just right in terms of content - a mix of appropriate neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and clinical problem-solving for neurological cases. Excellently illustrated and easy to understand, but not simplistic, this text will become recommended reading for our DVM course.

I purchased this book for my second year of vet school and I LOVE it. This book helped get me through Neuro. It is very user friendly and easy to read. If you are planning on being a neurologist then you will definitely need a more in-depth book, but this was an EXCELLENT starting point. It is a definite must have for all vet students.

Reading this book was just like sitting in one of her lectures. She has a way with explaining things so that they just click and finally make sense. It is written in an easily accessible fashion while still being perfectly scientific. The gift of teaching that Christine Thomson possesses is extended into the written form. I can't recommend it highly enough for any first or second year vet students.

Delivered as promised; good reference book for the practicing veterinarian.

This book provides a concise, comprehensive, and complete clinically oriented introduction to veterinary neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. I found it helpful to any veterinary student, veterinary neurologist, as well as residents preparing for board examinations. Chris and Caroline congratulations!!! This book deserves a place on the bookshelves of all interested in veterinary neurology and neuroscience!

I am a veterinary neurologist with over 20 years experience and with a teaching position and I will be recommending this book to my students and residents. It is a visually appealing guide that makes that all important connection between anatomy and function and dysfunction - i.e. detailing what is actually useful and practical to know. Every section is accompanied by clear pictures and "key points". Unlike many texts, it does not confine itself to dogs and cats. It is also very easy to navigate and I find myself increasing checking facts using it rather than my usual neurology bible. My only negative point was that I wish it was a hardback - such a beautiful book deserves to be.

Great book for any Veterinary Student.Found myself really struggling with Neuro and this booked really helped me to grasp the subject.Arrived swiftly and was in perfect condition.

excellent. goes back to basics and brakes everything down nice and easy and helps forming a solid base of knowledge for further studies.

Excellent guide to veterinary neuroanatomy. Some great pictures which compliment the text perfectly to give a thorough understanding.

Brilliant, user friendly. Perfect for my second year at vet school!!
