Medical Neurosciences: An Approach to Anatomy, Pathology, and Physiology by Systems and Levels

This is a straightforward, clinically-focused introduction to the medical neurosciences, and includes the latest information on important advances in neurobiology, neurogenetics and neurochemistry. The text is presented in three parts: an overview of basic neuroscience, covering neuroembryology and aspects of diagnosis; functional systems; and anatomic levels. The book takes a logical approach and discusses the nervous system in terms of systems and levels to facilitate understanding and retention, including a practical focus on clinical correlations and problem solving. It also includes study aids, such as chapter objectives, clinical problems and answers, and selected reading.
