This book is dedicated to my dear friend and extraordinary colleague, Dr. Andrea Poretti, who unexpectedly left this Earth long before he should have. Andrea has been a wonderful teacher, a brilliant neuroscientist, and an awesome friend. His boundless passion for neuroscience lives on as his legacy. To all those who are in constant search of truth —Nivedita
Foreword by Anne G. Osborn
Brain anatomy, pathology, and function go hand in hand with clinical findings. Correlating a given pattern of imaging findings with the patient’s symptomatology is essential to providing optimal clinical care. While there are a number of texts that focus on one or the other of these essential components, I’m not aware of any that attempt to integrate both of them. This book does just that. It is divided into two main sections covering the supratentorial brain structures and the infratentorial brain stem and the cer
