内容説明

"Neuroscience at a Glance" is designed to provide medical and allied health students and junior doctors with a concise review of a traditionally complex field. The authors successfully integrate anatomy, biochemistry, physiology and pharmacology to provide a review of the structure and function of the nervous system. Although not a clinical neurology text, this second edition includes four new chapters on Examination of the Nervous System, Investigation of the Nervous System, Clinical Disorders of the Sensory Pathways and Clinical Disorders of the Motor Pathways. The introduction of these new chapters provides excellent clinical relevance for readers while this book continues to provide accessible up-to-date explanations of neuroscience.All in all, the second edition of "Neuroscience at a Glance" provides students with an invaluable review of this complex subject. '"Neuroscience at a Glance" gives you just the right amount of information presented in a student-friendly format...There is also a free online companion to the book containing glossaries and relevant further reading signposts which I found useful. In my opinion, it gives the student everything needed to learn about and understand the working of the brain and spinal cord without bogging you down by over-complicating things. 'Neuroscience'.. would have been much easier to understand if I had this book' - "Barts and the London Chronicle".
