He previously served as Dean of Grad Med Ed at Seton Hall; Founding Executive Director of the Susan Samueli Center for Integrative Medicine and Prof of Anatomy and Neurobiology at UC Irvine; Founding Director of the Center for Neuroimmunology at Loma Linda School of Medicine; and the Kilian J. and Caroline F. Schmitt Professor and Chair of Department of Neurobiology, and Director of Markey Charitable Trust Institute for Neurobiology and Neurodegenerative Diseases and Aging at U of Rochester. His pioneering studies of autonomic innervation of lymphoid organs and neural-immune signaling underling psychoneuroimmunology has been featured on Bill Moyer's, "Healing and the Mind, "20/20, and many other media venues. He served for over a decade on NBME, including Chair of the Neurosciences Committee for the USMLE.
"I would recommend this book without reservation and over other
neuroanatomy books. The greatest strength is its beauty.
Neuroanatomy can be tough. The drawings provide perspectives that
are rarely seen in other textbooks and can make concepts click in
your mind - a picture is worth a thousand words. The text is
cleverly used to highlight rather than provide a detailed
explanation - which can be referenced from other books. The initial
overview and then diving down into the nitty-gritty significantly
aids learning as it provides a contextual road-map. The influence
of the educationalist is clearly felt alongside the expertise of
the anatomists. They have done Netter justice. This is an
exceptional book, now in its third edition. An established gem.
Well worth shortlisting. The electronic version is very welcome and
makes a chunky tone accessible anywhere with the added. video
bonus. This is a standard publishers should be aiming for."
