Concise Text of Neuroscience

Offers a concise approach to medical neuroscience, emphasizing its role as the basis for neurological diagnosis and treatment. The text integrates neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neurology, and is organized by systems rather than by anatomical diagnosis. All major disease categories are introduced, with realistic case studies presented at the end of most chapters. Diagnoses are presented at the end of cases to emphasize the process of discerning neurological signs and symptoms to reach a proper anatomical diagnosis. There are two appendices, the first of which provides a review of neuroembryology, which can be used as an introduction to the course or as a supplement. The second appendix includes a description of the neurological examination.
