Synopsis:
The explosion of new information in recent years has challenged instructors of neuroscience to synthesize a diverse range of topics and present them in a way that's comprehensible to students. This first edition of Essential Neuroscience presents a solution, delivering the right level of detail and scope of information for medical students and residents.
Readers are presented with all of the basic neuroscience topics, but with a focus on the essential concepts and facts intrinsic to the practice of medicine. The result is a refreshing text that makes learning the subject matter simple yet meaningful.
The authors begin with the analysis of 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 a detailed examination of the sensory, motor, and integrative systems. This building-block approach helps students master the subject material and prepare for national board examinations.
Benefit from these valuable features:
Essential Neuroscience is an ideal resource for medical students, neurology residents, and students who specialize in associated biological sciences.
Review: Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 15-OCT-06, Volume 81, Issue 10, Kelly D. Flemming, MD, Department of Neurology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, MN -- "A concise yet comprehensive text of neuroanatomy and basic neuroscience that is appropriate for medical students, residents, and neuroscience graduate students...The illustrations are a highlight of this text. These are appropriately detailed but make simple, important points to complement the text. The color illustrations help illustrate neuroanatomic pathways and key anatomic relationships well. In addition, objectives, clinical correlations, clinical cases, and the glossary make this an excellent text for teaching beginning students in the neurosciences."-Mayo Clinic Proceedings (Overall Grading: Five Stars-Outstanding)
