<i>Neuroanatomy and Neuroscience at a Glance</i> provides a user-friendly introduction to the anatomy, biochemistry, physiology and pharmacology of the human nervous system within one, succinct, highly-illustrated volume. <p>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.</p> <p>Key features of this fourth edition include: </p> <ul type="disc"> <li>A manageable overview of the structure and function of the central nervous system</li> <li>Full guidance on how to approach the patient with neurological problems and the investigations used in the most common scenarios</li> <li>Cases highlighting the clinical relevance of the basic neuroscience</li> <li>New chapters on the major neurotransmitters of the CNS and their functions, the enteric nervous system and stroke</li> <li>A fully updated companion website with interactive self-assessment questions and case studies, flashcards and revision notes at <a href="http://www.ataglanceseries.com/neuroscience">www.ataglanceseries.com/neuroscience</a></li> </ul> <p><i>Neuroanatomy and Neuroscience at a Glance</i> 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.</p>
