Basic Clinical Neuroscience 2/e

Basic Clinical Neuroscience offers medical and other health
professions students a clinically oriented description of human
neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. This text provides the anatomic and
pathophysiologic basis for understanding neurologic abnormalities
through concise descriptions of functional systems with an emphasis
on medically important structures and clinically important pathways.
It emphasizes the localization of specific anatomic structures and
pathways with neurological deficits, using anatomy enhancing 3-D
illustrations.

Basic Clinical Neuroscience also includes boxed clinical information
throughout the text, a key term glossary section, and review
questions at the end of each chapter, making this book comprehensive
enough to be an excellent Board Exam preparation resource in addition
to a great professional training textbook.

The fully searchable text will be available online at thePoint.
