A NEW core textbook on  neuroscience with a uniquely clinical focus and hundreds of full-color illustrations Developed by an exciting author team composed of University of California-San Francisco faculty members who are currently teaching neuroscience, this innovative new resources skillfully bridges the gap between basic and clinical science. Clinical content and numerous cases throughout the book enable readers to actually apply the principles they are learning to real-world situations.  Essentials of Modern Neuroscience includes the strong pedagogy that has proven popular in other revised LANGE basic science titles, including chapter opening Learning Objectives, bulleted chapter Summaries, cases, and application boxes. Chapters are intentionally succinct, making them more manageable to student readers. The text is bolstered by nearly 500 rich full-color images that clearly depict the content being discussed in the chapter. The Table of Contents and organization mirrors the way most medical schools teach the subject, and contents include unique chapters on Addiction, Affective Disorders, and Neurologic Diseases.

Ideal for both medical students and those in non-medical courses, Fitzgerald's Clinical Neuroanatomy and Neuroscience, 8th Edition, uses clear, understandable text and outstanding artwork to make a complex subject easily accessible. This award-winning title is known for superb illustrations and high readability, expertly integrating clinical neuroanatomy with the clinical application of neuroscience. Organizes chapters by anatomical area, with integrated analyses of sensory, motor, and cognitive systems. Breaks complex concepts and subjects into easily digestible content with clear images and concise, straightforward explanations. Features explanatory illustrations drawn by the same meticulous artists who illustrated Gray's Anatomy. Includes new Basic Science Panels that highlight an emerging or relevant basic science concept to expand your learning in specific content areas. Provides access to the Student Consult enhanced eBook, which contains tutorials for each chapter, hundreds of multiple-choice questions and answers, MRI images with explanatory text, and case studies. Contains learning helps in every chapter, including bulleted points, clinical boxes, opening summaries, and concluding core information boxes. Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.

Acclaimed for its clear, friendly style, excellent illustrations, leading author team, and compelling theme of exploration, Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain, 4e takes a fresh, contemporary approach to the study of neuroscience, emphasizing the biological basis of behavior. The authors’ passion for the dynamic field of neuroscience is evident on every page, engaging students and helping them master the material. In just a few years, the field of neuroscience has been transformed by exciting new technologies and an explosion of knowledge about the brain. The human genome has been sequenced, sophisticated new methods have been developed for genetic engineering, and new methods have been introduced to enable visualization and stimulation of specific types of nerve cells and connections in the brain. The new Fourth Edition has been fully updated to reflect these and other rapid advances in the field, while honoring its commitment to be student-friendly with striking new illustrations, additional animations, and an unparalleled array of online resources.

Neuroscience, 6th Edition is intended primarily for medical, premedical, and undergraduate students. The book's length and accessibility of its writing are a successful combination that has proven to work equally well for medical students and in undergraduate neuroscience courses. Being both comprehensive and authoritative, the book is also appropriate for graduate and professional use.

The first neuroanatomy text written specifically for physical therapy students Written by recognized experts in human nervous system development, Neuroanatomy for Rehabilitation provides physical therapy students with a thorough understanding of the anatomical localization of brain function. Approximately 200 line illustrations and photographs teach students how to accurately interpret the wealth of new human brain images now available. The text opens with an informative section that discusses the structural and functional organization of the nervous system and includes coverage of functional neuroanatomy and response to injury. This is followed by sections covering: * Vascular Supply of the Central Nervous System (arterial supply, venous drainage, response to injury) * Cellular Organization of the Nervous System * Development of the Central Nervous System * Functional Neuroanatomy by Ascending Region * The Brainstem, Cranial Nerves and Visual Pathways * The Cerebellum and Basal Ganglia * Diencephalon * The Cortex Each section opens with a case study and an overview of key concepts, and concludes with case discussion and review questions. No other text provides physical therapy students and instructors with such relevant, authoritative, and well-written material designed to enhance understanding of the human nervous system as Neuroanatomy for Rehabilitation.
