Basic Concepts in Neuroscience

The "Basic Concept" title, like its forerunners, gives students the necessary help to understand the fundamental but elusive concepts and principles in basic science. This volume covers neuroscience. Starting with a review of basic anatomy, the brain-in-the-box concept, the blood/brain barrier and how neurons work. Using jargon-free language, complex topics, such as the somatic sensory-motor system, are described with maximum clarity using many clinical examples.
