The Human Brain: An Introduction to Its Functional Anatomy

The Human Brain is a single-authored core neuroscience text that describes the structure and function of the brain and nervous system. The text covers the neuroanatomy that medical and other health care students need, with expanded coverage of neurophysiology and inclusion of clinical content that provides real-life application of neuroanatomy and neurophysiologic concepts to clinical neurologic disorders.

Its readability and enhanced 4-colour illustrations make this a favourite among both students and faculty.

Provides a single-author approach for a more consistent, readable text.

Contains summary statement headings to help you find what you're looking for within the text.

Provides an outline introducing each chapter to help students organize and stay focused as they learn.

Includes appealing four-color, computerized three-dimensional images of the brain and brain structures fully integrated with the text.

Complements an Electronic Image Bank that is also available separately.

Includes more coverage of neurobiology and neurophysiology.

Gives more clinical content, including many images depicting neurologic disorders.

Features an expanded section on higher cortical function.

Features an expanded section on learning and memory.

Contains a new chapter on the development, maintenance, and repair of neural connections-an explosive area of research in neuroscience.

Supplies a glossary of key terms.

Replaces many of the older figures with new, computer-generated illustrations.
