The 2nd Edition of Fundamental Neuroscience presents a contemporary and integrated approach to systems neurobiology (sensory, motor, visual, auditory, etc.), featuring a wealth of clinical examples. Full-color illustrations and high-quality clinical photographs of brain structure, with more than 80 new illustrations in this edition, emphasize clinical examples and enhance discussions throughout the text. Examples of MRI and CT show normal structures and selected clinical conditions. This Edition also includes a new chapter on The Neurological Examination and a new chapter on a Synopsis of Cranial Nerves of the Brainstem both chapters focusing on anatomico-clinical concepts and examples. Fundamental Neuroscience, 2nd Edition contains basic science and clinical information in an integrated format that serves as an excellent foundation for further study, equips students for the USMLE Step 1 exam, and prepares them to diagnose the neurologically compromised patient.
