Description and Table of Contents
Description
This third edition of one of the most popular titles in the at a Glance series contains essential integrated information on anatomy, biochemistry, physiology and pharmacology to provide a review of the structure and function of the nervous system. Neuroscience at a Glance is the perfect introduction and revision aid to this notoriously difficult subject area and features: * New chapters on consciousness, memory, emotion and drug addiction, and imaging the nervous system * Highly visual presentation with full-colour illustrations and the inclusion of high-quality CT and other neurological scans * Self-assessment case studies to make revision more rewarding * A companion website at www.medicalneuroscience.com with self-assessment, case studies, a glossary, further reading and other useful information. Neuroscience at a Glance will appeal to medical students, biomedical science students and junior doctors. In addition, the text is a suitable companion for nurses and other students of allied health.
