Functional Neuroscience

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.
