Essential Neuroscience provides a comprehensive study of the nervous system, from the internal structure of a neuron to the complex functions of the brain. Learn neuroscience through a stepwise approach that starts with the basic building blocks of neural anatomy and expands to cover structures and functions, the interaction of systems, and the science of clinical disorders.
 
Gain an edge on board exams with frequently-tested information on cranial nerves, behavioral disorders, and vascular syndromes of the brainstem. A well-balanced mix of anatomy, biology, physiology, and chemistry provides an integrated understanding of topics.
 
Each chapter contains clinical case studies, summary tables, and questions with detailed answers, providing multiple opportunities for self-testing and review. A comprehensive glossary in the back defines important key terms. 

The Third Edition Includes:

• Additional MRIs and Case Studies for up-to-date clinical information
• Expanded sections on neurobiology
• Key objectives and summary tables in every chapter
• An online glossary and USMLE-style question bank
•  Updated text, art, and review questions based on student feedback

Essential Neuroscience offers medical and health professions students a concise, clinically relevant text that gives equal weight to the branches of science represented within neuroscience: anatomy, physiology, biology, and chemistry.
