Description:
A fascinating read for non-medical layman and allied health field professionals, this unique book on neuroscience goes beyond discussions on the morphology and physiology of the brain by presenting the central nervous system as what it is: not only a group of neurons and lobes, but an extremely complex, integrated system responsible for an extraordinarily wide scope of functions.
Expand description
"Holistic" in approach, it integrates data from the realms of basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, and neurology -- covering a significant amount of updated subject matter plus material rarely found in standard neuroanatomy and neurophysiology texts -- such as drug abuse, nutrition, brain plasticity, dreaming, consciousness, and aggression. Presents a witty, conversational and captivating narrative, interjecting discussions of complex concepts with humor, anecdotes, philosophical discussions and clinical case studies.
