Description
The new fourth edition of this highly successful textbook covers the entire subject of neurophysiology from the conduction of nerve impulses to the higher functions of the brain. Particular emphasis is placed on principles and functional concepts.
The book is accompanied by a CD containing not only an upgraded version of the highly acclaimed Neurolab interactive simulations, but an atlas of neuroanatomy, animated diagrams of brain development, MCQs with timings and explained answers, a review of neuro websites on neuroscience with links, and moving footage of the neurological examination and the clinical signs of the major neurological conditions.
With more functional anatomy and clinical cases, this new edition presents an integrated textbook of neurology/neuroscience for medical students, physiology students, neuroscience students, and bioscience students taking physiology and neuroscience modules.
Includes free CD with innovative, interactive simulations and other material, including the full, searchable text
