The explosion of new information in recent years has challenged instructors of neuroscience to synthesize a diverse range of topics and present them in a way that's comprehensible to students. This first edition of Essential Neuroscience presents a solution, delivering the right level of detail and scope of information for medical students and residents. Readers are presented with all of the basic neuroscience topics, but with a focus on the essential concepts and facts intrinsic to the practice of medicine. The result is a refreshing text that makes learning the subject matter simple yet meaningful. The authors begin with the analysis of a single neuron, and then relate how neurons communicate with each other. Discussions progress to the anatomy of the spinal cord and brain, followed by a detailed examination of the sensory, motor, and integrative systems. This building-block approach helps students master the subject material and prepare for national board examinations. Benefit from these valuable features:
<ul>
<li>Chapter-opening Learning Objectives help students focus on the most important information to take away from each chapter.</li> <li>Summary tables and outlines organize chapter material into a high-yield format to help students review the material effectively.</li> <li>Clinical scenarios in each chapter help students understand the clinical application of the concepts presented.</li> <li>End-of-chapter review questions (both USMLE-style and course review) help students prepare for course and board exams.</li> <li>Full-color art program includes over 400 illustrations.</li> <li>A detailed chapter on neurotransmitters and implications of their malfunctions in mental disorders reflects recent developments in the field.</li> <li>Chapter on Behavioral Disorders examines schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, and obsessive compulsion, all topics that are part of the USMLE.</li> <li>Chapter on Cranial Nerves offers material tested on the USMLE.</li> <li>Genetic abnormalities and malfunctions of the immune system are also discussed, where applicable.</li> <li>Basic neuroscience terms and concepts are defined in an extensive end-of-book Glossary.</li>
</ul>
Essential Neuroscience is an ideal resource for medical students, neurology residents, and students who specialize in associated biological sciences.

Delivers subject matter simply yet meaningfully . . . 
As burgeoning research advances the field of neuroscience, instructors face the formidable challenge of imparting this ever-increasing and heterogenous body of information to students. Essential Neuroscience, Second Edition is the coherent, balanced solution. Rated outstanding with highest 5-star ranking in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings. This highly acclaimed second edition covers fundamental neuroscience topics, integrating essential information with clinical and physiological considerations, providing students with multiple opportunities for review and self-testing, and presenting the latest relevant developments in neuroscience. Proven building-block approach preferred by faculty and students alike. Beginning with the building block of neuroscience, the neuron, the text unfolds the story of human brain function. From analysis of a single neuron, the authors enlarge the discussion to neuronal communication; guide us through the essentials of spinal cord and brain anatomy; detail the sensory, motor, and integrative systems; and finally illustrate the most complex functions and dysfunctions of the nervous system. This stepwise, basic-to-complex approach is the synthesis of 30 years of teaching experience and improves student performance on exams. NEW FEATURES:
<ul>
<li>Enhanced topics throughout</li> <li>Integration of material where sequentially and functionally relevant</li> <li>More than 50 revised and 8 all-new illustrations</li> <li>Chapter Summary Tables</li> <li>Expanded Glossary</li> <li>In-depth study of selected topics to accommodate dental students</li>
</ul>
INSIDE YOU'LL FIND:
<ul>
<li>Six sections organize chapters into cohesive blocks of information.</li> <li>Learning Objectives launch each chapter by focusing students on key chapter information.</li> <li>Updated, full-color art program abounds with more than 400 illustrations and neuroimaging that reflect appropriate detail and complement the text.</li> <li>Tables and outlines organize chapter material in high-yield format for effective student review.</li> <li>Concise yet comprehensive presentation of material ensures that students learn what they need to know without bogging them down with excess information.</li> <li>Balanced integration of anatomy, biology, physiology, and chemistry gives students a well-rounded understanding of neuroscience.</li> <li>In-depth coverage of topics frequently tested on the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE)—including structure, function, and deficits of individual cranial nerves; vascular syndromes of the brainstem; and behavioral disorders—gives students an edge in test prep.</li> <li>Latest developments in neuroscience keep students at the front of discovery.</li> <li>Clinical Cases provide the clinical application of chapter concepts.</li> <li>USMLE-style and course review-style questions test retention of key concepts in each chapter and help students prepare for course and board examinations.</li> <li>Comprehensive Glossary defines key terms and concepts bolded throughout the text.</li> <li>Online access via thePoint to the fully searchable text (including images), an image bank for faculty with labels on/off, interactive Q&amp;A, and more.</li>
