More Description
Essential Neuroscience is a concise, clinically relevant text that gives balanced weight to the key branches of science within neuroscience: anatomy, physiology, biology, and chemistry. The book presents all the basic neuroscience topics, focusing on the essential concepts and facts intrinsic to the practice of medicine.
The authors begin by analyzing a single neuron, and then relate how neurons communicate with each other. Discussions progress to the anatomy of the spinal cord and brain, followed by detailed examination of the sensory, motor, and integrative systems. This building-block approach helps students master the material and prepare for board examinations.
Each chapter includes Learning Objectives, summary tables and outlines, clinical scenarios, and review questions. The full-color art program includes over 400 illustrations.
