Neuroscience: An Outline Approach

This book comes from the very complete course notes that the Castro, Medical Neuroscinece Course Director at Loyola Medical School and his author team had compiled over the years for their courses. The text contains all of the important information faculty and students need for a medical neuroscience course, but offers a flexibility in format for instruction so that faculty can also supplement with their own materials.

This Neuroscience book therefore provides a solid text with a great deal of adaptability. This is particularly important for integrated curriculums, where shorter books are favoured, with the additional appeal to students preparing for their exams.

1. Content is highly accessible and presented in an easy-to-use, outline format. 2. Comprehensive clinical coverage is provided on neurology in the context of basic science. 3. Numerous tables facilitate learning. 4. The extensive glossary provides convenient access to definitions and descriptions. 5.MRI-based atlases reinforce anatomical knowledge. 6. Information boxes and margin notes provide additional information. 7. Chapter questions emphasize important topics and enable readers to measure their knowledge. 8. The logical division of material makes the book easily adaptable for different courses.
