About this Item

Medical neuroscience has traditionally been taught using two approaches that until now have not been thoroughly integrated. One approach, known as "functional neuroanatomy", emphasizes the regional anatomy of the nervous system. The other approach, known as "systems neuroscience," emphasizes the physiological operation of the different neural systems. The present text fuses these two conventional teaching styles, proviging and integrated, comprehensive introduction to the anatomy, physiology, and the molecular and cellular biology of the human nervous system. Functional Neuroscience provides students with the core basic science knowledge necesary to begin the study of clinical disorders affecting the nerous systems. The format and presentation also promote the development of conceptual skills, allowing physicians in trainning to integrate new information within this rapidly changinf field. The clinical relevance of the basic science information is emphasized throughout. The coverage and presentation of the subject matter make this an ideal texbook for medical students, or allied health professionals in training. 1140 gr.

About this title

Synopsis

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.

From the Back Cover

The papers included here cover a wide range of issues: fundamental studies of the turbulence problem, practical applications of turbulence, superfluid turbulence, cryogenic facilities and capabilities to support the demands of cryogenic turbulence research, and new types of miniature flow instrumentation. All of these topics are crucial for high-Reynolds-number research. The papers give a state-of-the-art assessment of the use of helium flows - on the one hand, for turbulence research at very high Reynolds and Rayleigh numbers and, on the other, for testing navy and aerospace models under realistic parameter ranges. The editors have provided two survey papers, and a number of pioneering papers are included.
