Description
"The Human Brain" is a single-authored core neuroscience text that describes the structure and function of the brain and nervous system. The text covers the neuroanatomy that medical and other health care students need, with expanded coverage of neurophysiology and inclusion of clinical content that provides real-life application of neuroanatomy and neurophysiologic concepts to clinical neurologic disorders. Its readability and enhanced 4-colour illustrations make this a favourite among both students and faculty.
