Fundamental Neuroscience for Basic and Clinical Applications

Dr. Haines is an exceedingly well-respected academic (a former Henry Gray/Elsevier award winner from the American Association of Anatomists and a Distinguished Teacher Award winner from the Association of American Medical Colleges). Though Dr. Haines has retired as Chair of the Department of Anatomy as well as Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Mississippi, he retains a working relationship with Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He travels extensively and continues to speak frequently at meetings both in the US and Internationally. Professor Emeritus Gregory A. Mihailoff works in the Department of Anatomy at Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, Midwestern University, Glendale, Arizona. Mary Alissa Willis is Vice Chair in the Department of Neurology at Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio.

Review of the previous edition:"This is one of the best neuroscience books available, probably one of the three best currently. It provides broad coverage with detailed information on this massive topic." - Eduardo A De Sousa, MD, FAAN (Mercy NeuroScience Institute) Doody's Score: 97 - 5 Stars!
