Book Details

This book is amazing for studying the anatomy and function of the nervous system in detail. The study guidelines at the beginning of each chapter are very helpful for getting the reader focused on threshold knowledge and important clinical correlations. At the end of chapters, a suggested reading list guides you to very interesting and up to date articles that take you into greater depth. The chapter on electrical events is outstanding for its simplicity in transmitting complex information in an easy-to-understand way. It relates the electrophysiology and graphs to illustrations of the neuron and the cell membrane that really give you an understanding of how things work at that level. This book utilizes different methods that help consolidate knowledge. It has illustrations next to histological images or medical imaging that aid your ability to interpret the images. It is the go-to book for finding that “perfect” image that will really create that aha moment for students!
