Summary:

Essentials of Modern Neuroscience has been written for students in the medical and other health professions with the goal of being accessible, coherently organized, and universal in its coverage of basic science and clinical neuroscience. It is thus divided into two main parts, the first being a thorough treatment of the basic science of the anatomy and function of the nervous system, and the second comprising an extended treatment of nervous system disorders and therapeutics.
