Designed to help you comprehend and retain the challenging material you need to know, Fundamental Neuroscience for Basic and Clinical Applications, Sixth Edition, covers the essential neuroscience information needed for coursework, exams, and beyond. Using a rigorous yet clinically-focused approach, it integrates neuroanatomy, pharmacology, and physiology, with separate sections devoted to essential concepts, regional neurobiology, and systems neurobiology.
    • Begins with the basic concepts that are needed to understand neuroscience at a fundamental level, followed by regional coverage designed to help prepare you for examinations, and ending with a full section on systems neurobiology as you enter the clinical phase of your education.
    • Contains new end-of-chapter review questions, as well as thoroughly updated information in every chapter, with an emphasis on new clinical thinking as related to the brain and systems neurobiology.
    • Features hundreds of correlated state-of-the-art imaging examples, anatomical diagrams, and histology photos.
    • Pays special attention to the correct use of clinical and anatomical terminology, and provides clinical text and clinical-anatomical correlations.

    • Ways of Reading
      • The appearance of the text and page layout can be modified according to the capabilities of the reading system (font family and font size, spaces between paragraphs, sentences, words, and letters, as well as color of background and text)
      • This e-publication is accessible to the full extent that the file format and types of content allow, on a specific reading device, by default, without necessarily including any additions such as textual descriptions of images or enhanced navigation
      • No information about nonvisual reading is available
    • Conformance
      • No information is available
    • Navigation
      • Table of contents to all chapters of the text via links
      • Page list to go to pages from the print source version
    • Rich Content
      • No information is available
    • Hazards
      • No information is available
    • Product Content
      • No information is available
    • Legal Considerations
      • No information is available
    • Additional Accessibility Information
      • Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
      • Page breaks included from the original print source
      • For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
      • E-publication includes basic navigation (usually less detailed than TOC-based navigation)
      • Where links, controls or buttons are included in the content, the purpose or functionality of each link, control or button is apparent from the associated text alone - or where it is unclear, separate link, control or button descriptions are provided
      • All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
