High-Yield Neuroanatomy is a medical book written by James D. Fix. Now in its fourth edition, this best-selling book distills the most important neuroanatomy information and presents it in a concise and neat manner to prepare students for course exams and the USMLE. Highlights of this edition include a brief glossary of key neuroanatomical structures and disease states; the addition of an icon to more clearly identify the Clinical Correlations sections; an accompanying table of common neurological injuries; enlarged figure legends identifying clinically relevant anatomical relationships; an improved and expanded index; and modified text and figure legends to comply with Terminologia Anatomica.
According to James: Nerve cells contain Nissl substance in their pericary and dendrites, but not in their axons. Remember that the Nissl substance (rough endoplasmic reticulum) plays a role in protein synthesis. Study prevalence of common brain and spinal cord tumors. Remember that in adults, glioblastoma multiforme is the most common brain tumor, followed by astrocytoma and meningioma. In children, astrocytoma is the most common brain tumor, followed by medulloblastoma and ependymoma. In the spinal cord, ependymoma is the most common tumor.
