Opis

The book covers topics ranging from basic sciences (developmental changes in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology and effects of neuropharmacology) to special situations such as brain death, ethical issues and palliative care. The fact that basic sciences are included along with clinical sciences makes it a unique read for the audience.
