This new volume in the Illustrated Colour Text series provides a clear, integrated introduction to the essential basic and clinical aspects of neuroscience. It is carefully matched to the needs of medical students and junior doctors and will also prove invaluable to biomedical and imaging neuroscientists and any others who require a sound understanding of the most common and important brain diseases and the concepts that underlie them. It is the perfect companion to Crossman's bestselling Neuroanatomy ICT.
Short, affordable and readable introductory level text in the smae style as Crossman: Neuroanatomy.
Assumes little previous neuroscience knowledge.
Explains fundamental concepts without overwhelming detail
Focuses on clinically relevant material.
Includes the most common and important neurological disorders.
