"Neuroscience" is a comprehensive text that emphasizes the structure of the nervous system, the correlation of structure and function, and the structure/function relationships particularly pertinent to the practice of medicine. Although not primarily about pathology, the book includes the basis of a variety of neurological disorders. It could serve equally well as a text for medical students or for undergraduate neuroscience courses in which many of the students are premeds. Being both comprehensive and authoritative, it is also appropriate for graduate and professional use. The Second Edition offers a host of new features including a new art program and "Sylvius 2.0: Fundamentals of Human Neural Structure", an interactive CD-ROM atlas of the human nervous system.
