Abstract: The new fourth edition of this textbook presents a clear account of neurology/neuroscience for students of medicine, physiology, neuroscience and bioscience. This edition integrates information on basic neurophysiology with functional neuroanatomy, core neurology and clinical cases and provides new material on channels and receptors, central motor system, 'higher' functions and development. The book has been completely redesigned in a larger format with new artwork to ensure that information is as clear and accessible as possible. The free CD that accompanies the book incorporates an upgraded version of the popular 'Neurolab'; an atlas of neuroanatomy; animated diagrams of brain development; questions with timings and explained answers; a review of neuro websites and footage of the neurological examination and the clinical signs of the major neurological conditions.
