Functional Neuroscience de Oswald Steward

Functional Neuroscience

Oswald Steward

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mar 2000

An integrated textbook of medical neuroscience, this book will make a coherent presentation of anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry of the human nervous system. The neuroanatomy will be presented in a way that is integrated with a modern presentation of cellular neurophysiological systems, neuroscience, and cellular, molecular, and developmental neuroscience. Clinical correlations will be provided wherever appropriate.

Caracteristici

Presents a highly coherent and concise approach to the anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry of the human nervous system The style of presentation builds on the strengths of the teaching style previously called "Functional Neuroanatomy," however, this book takes the next evolutionary step by integrating this style with a modern presentation of cellular, molecular and developmental neuroscience, cellular neurophysiology, and systems neuroscience Clinical correlations are provided wherever appropriate
