In this day where research grants are the primary focus, many young investigators are thrown into neurosciences courses without any prior preparation in neuroanatomy. This book is designed to help prepare them by introducing many of the fundamentals of the nervous system. It represents the essentials of an upper level biology course on the central nervous system. It is not designed to be a clinical approach to the nervous system, but rather it approaches the nervous system from a basic science perspective that intertwines both structure and function as an organizing teaching and learning model. Medical and dental examples are included but the main focus is on neuroscience.
Modern Pharmacology with Clinical Applications, 5th Ed.
The classic--now revised every two years! This affordable softbound is concise enough to focus on the essentials, yet detailed enough to ensure accuracy. Clearly-ordered sections address drugs affecting the autonomic nervous system, cardiovascular system, and central nervous system; drugs used to treat inflammatory disorders; chemotherapy; drugs affecting the endocrine system; and additional, important drugs such as histamines and vitamins.
Neurology in Clinical Practice (2 vol. set)Designed as a practical textbook of neurology, this two-volume fourth edition contains 87 chapters covering principles of diagnosis and management (v.1) and neurological disorders (v.2).
Topics include neurological symptoms and conditions such as vision loss, cranial and facial pain, and gait disorders; neurological causes of bladder, bowel, and sexual disorders; laboratory investigations in diagnosis and management of neurological disease; clinical electromyography and neuroimaging; principles of neuropharmacology and therapeutics; vascular diseases of the nervous system; cancer and the nervous system; effects of toxins and physical agent; disorders of the nervous system ...
The brain is the most important part of our body and its structure makes humans unique among all of the Earth's animals. The ability to think is only one of the many things that we rely on our brains for in our everyday lives. Learn how the senses are linked to our nerves and how the environment stimulates our senses. Also learn about the spinal cord as part of the central nervous system as well as the parts of the brain.
This full-color text and atlas, provides a complete overview of the structural alterations of important nervous system diseases, along with their clinical manifestations. Readers will understand the goals of the neuropathologic exam, the histologic reaction of neural tissue to diseases, and the pathologic conditions particular to the nervous system. All topics are highlighted by gross and histologic images of the brain and spinal cord, and all integrate the most recent scientific studies.
