Neuroscience at a Glance - Hardcover
Following the highly successful ′At A Glance′ format, this book covers the entire neuroscience requirement of the pre–clinical medicine course in a logical series of double–page spreads. It recognises the interdisciplinary nature of neuroscience, and the need to integrate students′ knowledge of anatomy, biochemistry, physiology and pharmacology. Examples of the physiological systems of the central nervous system and its diseases are viewed from the molecular to the behavioural levels. The text is logically divided into seven sections, starting with a general introduction entitled ′cellular neurosciences,′ which covers the structure and function of the CNS at the microscopic level. The following sections cover cutaneous and visceral sensation; motor control and co–ordination of movement; the brainstem; and special senses. Higher functions (memory, mood and cognition), and injury and ageing (dementias) are dealt with in the final sections.

Review:
Student Pre–reviews: "I think this book has a very useful role as a basic core neuroscience text, and had it been commercially available when I was preparing for my exams I would definitely have bought a copy!" "The writing style flows well and keeps the reader interested throughout. The organisation of text using subheadings provides the reader with "bite size" portions of narrative. This layout of text aids understanding and learning. This book offers many clinical examples, which are both interesting and increase understanding of the topic." "Overall, I found it a very useful book set out in a functional, easily accessible, yet interesting way."
