Neuroscience

• Logical, systems approach to neuroscience
makes it easier to master complex information and provides a framework for conducting a neurologic examination and evaluation.
• Clinical perspective of neuroscience is provided through case studies, personal stories written by people with neurologic disorders, and summaries of key features of neurologic disorders and the body systems they affect.
• Six sections — Overview of Neurology, Neuroscience at the Cellular Level, Development of the Nervous System, Vertical Systems, Regions, and Neurologic Tests — first show how neural cells operate, and then allow you to apply your knowledge of neuroscience.
• Coverage of key physical rehabilitation topics includes abnormal muscle tone, chronic pain, control of movement, and differential diagnosis of dizziness.
• Hundreds of color-coded illustrations show body structures and functions across systems.
• Full-color atlas includes photographs of the human brain along with labeled line drawings.
• Clinical Notes case studies demonstrate how neuroscience concepts may be applied to clinical situations.
• Pathology boxes provide a quick summary of the features of neurologic disorders commonly encountered in rehabilitation practice.
