Synopsis

From Anatomy to Function of the Central Nervous System: Clinical and Neurosurgical Applications features neuroradiologic images that represent today, one of the most effective resources able to detect the anatomy of the nerve structures. Simultaneously featuring neuroimages, readers can study the functional aspects of the entire central nervous system with detailed captions that describe in detail how to use and interpret them. This book includes images of the brain dissected with the Klingler’s method and white matter fiber dissection. By integrating the anatomo-functional description with the synaptic organization of the CNS, this reference is useful for anyone who wants to understand how the activity of a nerve structure arises, describing its microstructure, neurotransmitter phenotype, and neural activity. It also features descriptions of pathologic conditions which result from neuroanatomical and/or neurofunctional alterations and includes neurosurgical aspects.

• Integrates anatomo-functional descriptions with the synaptic and neurochemical organization of the CNS
• Allows readers to better understand the morphology and topography of encephalic structures
• Features neuroradiological images and human brain dissections using the Klingler’s method
• Chapters have references (key article, book, and protocols) for additional detailed studies

About this title

About the Author

Mr. Ascenzi received his Bachelor’s Degree in the Techniques of Biomedical Laboratory and his Master’s Degree in Neurobiology (Medical Biotechnology) at School of Medicine and Surgery, University of Rome “Tor Vergata”. Over his career he has been involved in several research projects about neuromuscular diseases at the Institute of Histology and Embryology of University of Rome “La Sapienza” and at the School of Sciences (MM.PH.NN) of “Tor Vergata” University.

His research interests mainly focus on the modulation of brain development through neurotransmitters and peptides in the field of neurodevelopmental diseases such as ASD and ADHD. Recently he also started to participate in neurosurgical and radiological works. Currently he is majoring in Medicine, and this is his first monograph.
