Opis

Fully updated and revised according to student feedback, the sixth edition of Mayo Clinic Medical Neurosciences: Organized by Neurologic System and Level 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.

Recenzje

What makes this book so unique is that it is a "basic neuroscience" book written by expert neurologic clinicians and educators, who also happen to be remarkably knowledgeable about basic neuroscience, so that every aspect of the text is written with the ultimate goal of each of us providing the most informed care to our patients with neurologic disorders. Although written as a medical education text for medical students regardless of ultimate specialty, this book is even of tremendous value for those "seasoned" neurologic clinicians among us, to help us learn, or relearn, the basic neuroscience that is so integral to the optimal diagnosis and management of our patients.
