Book description
Neuroanatomy and Neuroscience at a Glance
provides a user-friendly introduction to the anatomy, biochemistry,
physiology and pharmacology of the human nervous system within one,
succinct, highly-illustrated volume.
The double page spreads begin by
summarising the anatomical structure and function of the different
components of the central nervous system, followed by a section on
applied neurobiology which outlines how to approach the patient with
neurological and psychiatric problems and provides an overview of
treatment and management options.
Key features of this fourth edition include:
- A manageable overview of the structure and function of the
central nervous system
- Full guidance on how to approach the patient with neurological
problems and the investigations used in the most common scenarios
- Cases highlighting the clinical relevance of the basic neuroscience
- New chapters on the major neurotransmitters of the CNS and their
functions, the enteric nervous system and stroke
- A fully updated companion website with interactive
self-assessment questions and case studies, flashcards and
revision notes at www.

Neuroanatomy and Neuroscience at a Glance is the ideal
companion for anyone about to start a basic neuroanatomy or
neuroscience course, or can be used as a refresher for those in
clinical training.
