Riassunto:

An integrated textbook on the nervous system, covering both the basic science of the system and its major diseases.

• Integrated coverage of the structure, function and major diseases of the nervous system - highly suitable for systems courses as taught in the new medical curriculum
• Coverage of the basic science is clinically driven - for instance organisation of the basal ganglia is introduced through Parkinson's disease.
• Coverage of major diseases of the nervous system, together with a chapter on neurological examination, symptoms and investigations, equips students for the contact with patients which now occurs much earlier in the medical course.
• Covers psychiatric problems as well as neurological ones - in line with the integrated nature of the new courses.
• Attractive, open two-colour page design, with objectives defined at the start of each chapter and self-assessment at the end.
