MODULE 12
SUGGESTED READING
The Auditory System
1) Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases by Hal Blumenfeld.
- The auditory pathway is described on Pages 485-9.
- For a discussion of hearing loss, read Pages 491-2.
- For a discussion of the processing of language information, read Pages 827-32.
2) Fundamental Neuroscience for Basic and Clinical Applications by Duane E. Haines. Third Edition.
- The cochlear component of the vestibulocochlear nerve is discussed on Page 219.
- The auditory system is considered in Chapter 21, starting on Page 335. The treatment is extensive and detailed, but excellent. In addition to the anatomy of the auditory pathway (see Figure 21-10), sound transduction, tuning curves, brainstem evoked responses and more are considered.
3) Principles of Neural Science by Eric R. Kandel, James H. Schwartz and Thomas M. Jessel.
- See Chapter 30.
- For a discussion of hair cells, read Chapter 31.
The Vestibular System
1) Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases by Hal Blumenfeld.
- For pathways, see Pages 489-491.
- For a discussion of dizziness and vertigo, see Pages .492-4.
2) Fundamental Neuroscience for Basic and Clinical Applications by Duane E. Haines. Third Edition.
- The vestibular component of the vestibulocochlear nerve is discussed on Page 220.
- The vestibular system is covered in Chapter 22, starting on Page 351. Like the auditory chapter, the vestibular one deals extensively with the both the physiology and the anatomy of the system.
3) Principles of Neural Science by Eric R. Kandel, James H. Schwartz and Thomas M. Jessel.
4) Clinically Oriented Anatomy, Fourth Edition by Keith L. Moore and Arthur F. Dalley.
- The section on the vestibulocochlear nerve is brief but good. It deals with the function and peripheral anatomy of the nerve and starts on Page 1103.
