    Nueva edición de la obra que se presenta como una guía accesible e imprescindible para todos aquellos estudiantes que se inicien en el campo de la Neuroanatomía. En la obra se ha incluido la materia esencial para dar sentido a la asignatura, correlacionando, siempre que ha sido posible, la estructura anatómica con la función y, cuando es aplicable, relacionándola con su significado clínico. La extensión y la profundidad de la cobertura de los temas son suficientes para permitir que los estudiantes comiencen su formación en cualquier rama de la neurociencia clínica o preclínica con confianza. Dado que la anatomía interna del sistema nervioso central no suele visualizarse fácilmente en disecciones, cortes histológicos o exploraciones clínicas es fundamental que la obra incluya un gran número de ilustraciones claras, sencillas y explícitas. Estas siempre han sido un punto fuerte del libro, y una de las características distintivas respecto a otros contenidos similares. La nueva edición ofrece acceso al e-book en inglés a través de la plataforma e-books+.

Atlas de anatomía humana, el atlas de anatomía más utilizado en la formación médica. Con un diseño a doble página enfrenta las fotografías de disección y las ilustraciones clásicas de Netter, con la misma proyección y la misma orientación, para ayudar a resolver el problema común que plantean las muestras disecadas y prosecadas de donantes de cuerpos que no reproducen fielmente las imágenes idealizadas de un atlas de anatomía. Las imágenes comparten las etiquetas en las que se identifican todas las estructuras anatómicas pertinentes en cada caso, incluyendo músculos, huesos, nervios, vasos sanguíneos y órganos. Utilizadas de manera unitaria, estas anotaciones sirven como guía para que los estudiantes conozcan las estructuras y comprendan sus relaciones anatómicas.
