Product Description

The organization of the information is transparent, easy to teach from, and follows the way that the neuroscience curriculum is generally taught. For example, the opening chapter covers neuroanatomy, which is foundational for much of neuroscience. The organization also corresponds to the specialty areas that active neuroscientists will identify themselves with (e.g., developmental neuroscience, molecular neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience). While the book does not have a clinical focus, it does cover a wide range of disorders. This material is featured in compact, clinical text boxes distributed throughout the chapters, more directly linking the disorders to the fundamental structures and functions of the nervous system. Squires treatment is intended to assist the reader in establishing the connection between the basic biology and the neurological symptoms and syndromes. It places more emphasis on the science with less emphasis on clinical concepts. The third edition contains 30% new
