Mayo Clinic Medical Neurosciences

Fully updated and revised according to student feedback the sixth edition of <em>Mayo Clinic Medical Neurosciences: Organized by Neurologic System and Level </em> provides a systematic approach to anatomy physiology and pathology of the nervous system inspired by the neurologist's approach to solving clinical problems. This volume has 4 sections: 1) an overview of the neurosciences necessary for understanding anatomical localization and pathophysiologic characterization of neurologic disorders; 2) an approach to localizing lesions in the 7 longitudinal systems of the nervous system; 3) an approach to localizing lesions in the 4 horizontal levels of the nervous system; and 4) a collection of clinical problems. This book provides the neuroscience framework to support the neurologist in a clinical setting and is also a great resource for neurology and psychiatry board certifications. This is the perfect guide for all medical students and neurology psychiatry and physical medicine residents at early stages of training. <p/>New to This Edition<br> - A chapter devoted to multiple-choice questions for self-assessment<br>- Discussion of emerging concepts in molecular cellular and system neurosciences<br>- New chapters on emotion and consciousness systems<br>- Incorporation of new discoveries in neuroimaging and an appendix for tables of medications commonly used to treat neurologic disorders<br>
