Neuroscience for Clinicians is a comprehensive and clinically relevant survey of emerging concepts on the organization and function of the nervous system and neurologic disease mechanisms. By emphasizing how genetic molecular and cellular processes and their interactions control the function of the nervous system the work will help clinicians understand emerging concepts about the mechanisms of neurologic disorders including neurodegeneration channelopathies and synaptic dysfunction that provide potential therapeutic targets . This single-authored textbook utilizes ample figures and tables throughout in order to facilitate retention of the core concepts presented. Divided into 5 sections the first section includes chapters focused on basic cellular processes. Section 2 includes chapters focused on cell communication while Section 3 focuses on the neuronal microenvironment. The fourth section focuses on the organization and interactions of circuits in the cortex thalamus and brainstem underlying behavioral states such as sleep sensory processing and motor control. The fifth section addresses mechanisms of pain and neural control of survival. And the final section covers concepts on mechanisms of emotion social behavior memory language and executive functions with emphasis on dementia and behavioral disorders.
