Cranial Nerves in Health and Disease

This second edition presents a thorough revision of Cranial Nerves . The format reflects the shift in teaching methods from didactic lectures to problem-based learning. It maintains the first edition's approach of blending the neuro- and gross anatomy of the cranial nerves as seen through colour-coded functional drawings of the pathways from the periphery of the body to the brain (sensory input), and from the brain to the periphery (motor output

Joining original authors, Dr. Linda Wilson-Pauwels, Prof. Elizabeth J. Akesson, and Dr. Patricia A. Stewart, is neurologist Dr. Siân D. Spacey. They have revised the original text and visual material, created case history scenarios with guiding questions, and developed clinical testing scenarios of each nerve.
