Divided into two parts, the guide offers a thorough treatment of the basic science of the anatomy and function of the nervous system, as well an extended treatment of nervous system disorders and therapeutics.
Packed with 500 color illustrations, Essentials of Modern Neuroscience provides both clinical content and numerous cases in an engaging, simple-to-understand style. It includes the strong pedagogy that makes LANGE basic science titles so popular and provides chapter-opening Learning Objectives, bulleted chapter summaries, and application boxes.
Covers both basic science and clinical cases for full mastery of the topicOrganized to mirror the way medical schools teach neuroscience Presents information in a way that fosters maximum retentionUnique chapters cover addiction, affective disorders, and neurologic diseases
