PREFACE H ealth professions curricula around the world are continually evolving: New discoveries, techniques, applications, and content areas compete for increasingly limited time with basic science top- ics. It is in this context that the foundations established in the basic sciences become increasingly important and relevant for absorbing and applying our ever-expanding knowledge of the human body. As a result of the progressively more crowded curricular landscape, students and instructors are finding new ways to maximize precious contact, preparation, and study time through more efficient, high- yield presentation and study methods. Pocket Neuroanatomy, as a part of Lippincott’s Pocket Series for the anatomical sciences, is designed to serve time-crunched students. The presentation of neuroanatomy in a table format featuring labeled images efficiently streamlines study and exam preparation for this highly visual and content-rich subject. This pocket-size, quick refer- ence book of neuroanatomical pearls is portable, practical, and neces- sary; even at this small size, nothing is omitted, and a large number of clinically significant facts, mnemonics, and easy-to-learn concepts are used to complement the tables and inform readers. I am confident that Pocket Neuroanatomy, along with other books in the anatomical science Pocket series, will greatly benefit all students attempting to learn clinically relevant foundational con- cepts in a variety of settings, including all graduate and professional health science programs. vii
