Now in its 25th year, this best-selling work is the only neuroanatomy atlas to integrate neuroanatomy and neurobiology with extensive clinical information. It combines full-color anatomical illustrations with over 200 MRI, CT, MRA, and MRV images to clearly demonstrate anatomical-clinical correlations. This edition contains many new MRI/CT images ...
As a graduate student in 1972, the author was part of the team that discovered the brain's opiate receptors. In this text, she provides an in-depth look at the science that led to this and other findings, such as the fact that similar receptors exist in the glands, spleen, bone marrow and other organs, which convey information in both directions ...
This book provides parents with easy-to-understand explanations of how a child's brain develops from conception to age five, and also demonstrates ways that parents can help their children "grow better brains."
Undergraduates everywhere have made "Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain" a top choice for learning the workings of the brain, its molecules and cells, and the systems that underlie behavior. The Second Edition includes a neuroanatomy atlas with a self-testing feature as well as new chapters on sex and the brain, motivation, and mental illness.
This is the most authoritative introduction to the brain, its structure, function, development, and control of behavior available today. It presents both a comprehensive summary of the state of the science and a full discussion of historical issues in the study of the brain. Neuroanatomy, cell and molecular mechanisms, mechanisms, of signaling, ...
Neuroanatomy is, by nature, an incredibly complex subject. Too often, overwhelmed by anatomical detail, students miss out on the functional beauty of the nervous system and its relevance to clinical practice. "Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases" resolves this dilemma, using over 100 actual clinical cases and high quality radiologic images in an ...
This book studies the relationship between biological factors (mostly brain activity) and behaviour. It shows students how such aspects of brain physiology as neuro-transmission and neuroanatomy relate to "real" psychological topics such as language, sexual behaviour, drug addiction, depression, depression and schizophrenia. The fifth edition has ...
Foundations of Physiological Psychologyoffers a briefer, sixteen chapter introduction to the foundations of physiology, incorporating the latest studies and research in the rapidly changing fields of neuroscience and physiological psychology. The text uses many human examples, case studies, and MyPsychKit featuring Carlson's Neuroscience ...
This full-colour text/atlas presents all of the neuroscience knowledge that is essential to the practice of clinical rehabilitation. It emphasizes the neurological disorders and body systems that are most relevant to physical and occupational therapy. A cumulative, building-block organization--progressing from the cellular and developmental level, ...
"Biological Psychology Fifth Edition" is a comprehensive survey of the bases of behaviour that is both authoritative and up-to-date. Building on the strengths of its predecessors, it continues to offer an outstanding illustration program and a very broad perspective - encompassing lucid descriptions of behaviour, evolutionary history, development, ...
The latest discoveries in the rapidly changing fields of neuroscience and physiological psychology are all incorporated in The Tenth Edition of Physiology of Behavior. This classic text continues its tradition as the most comprehensive, current, and teachable text for physiological psychology.
This book shows readers how the complex processes of the mind--language, memory, attention, feelings--are able to function through the underlying biology of the brain. Relying on patient studies and case histories rather than lab experiments on animals, the authors explore the underlying neurological chemistry behind critical human diseases.
"Neuroscience for the Study of Communicative Disorders, Third Edition" remains an ideal resource that teaches neuroscience fundamentals without encyclopedic details of anatomy and physiology. This text takes a step-by-step, simplified approach, and contains relevant information in its application of neuroscience for students and practitioners in ...
This student-friendly text provides a concise, comprehensive clinically-oriented survey of the human nervous system that should be helpful to any student of basic neuroscience, as well as residents and physicians preparing for board examinations. It covers both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Features new to the 10th edition include: ...
Written by experts on each of the senses, this book provides a comprehensive yet accessible survey of the major topics in the field. A new chapter on the vestibular system has been added. There is new coverage of visual development, the neural basis of object recognition, body image and out-of-body experiences, brain plasticity, and pheromones and ...
This is the most comprehensive approach to neuroanatomy from both a functional and regional perspective! With over 400 illustrations, this thoroughly updated Third Edition examines how parts of the nervous system work together to regulate body systems and produce behavior. The illustration program features brain views produced by MRI and PET ...
"Essential Neuroscience, Revised First Edition", offers medical and health professions students a concise, clinically relevant text that gives equal weight to the branches of science represented within neuroscience: anatomy, physiology, biology, and chemistry. In this balanced treatment, it distinguishes itself from other competing textbooks. ...
Edelman and Tononi explain consciousness as an affect of complex processes that take place in the brain. Looking not to a specific location, but to the brain's activity overall, the scientists propose a new conception of how consciousness happens.
The new edition of Kolb and Whishaw's text exploring the biological basis of behaviour, communicates the excitement of the tremendous advances in the field over the past decade. Drawing on their extensive teaching and research experience, the authors organise their text around the key questions that intrigue brain researchers and students alike. ...
Puzzles and brain twisters to keep your mind sharp and your memory intact are all the rage today. More and more people - baby Boomers and information workers in particular - are becoming concerned about their gray matter's ability to function, and with good reason. As this sensible and entertaining guide points out, your brain is easily your most ...
The second edition of this introductory text uses clinical examples to bridge the gap between basic neuroscience and the practice of neurologic rehabilitation. Each chapter illustrates the relationship between the nervous system and behavior. Current, portable, and clearly written, the text covers discrete systems for acquiring information, the ...
Concerned with the neural basis of learning and educational kinesiology, this text is a synthesis of knowledge of the neurosciences and how bodily movement, emotional expression, nutrition and the social and physical environment influence learning.
Here is the ONLY text to bridge the gap between current motor control theory and research, and its application to clinical practice. "Motor Control" prepares therapists to examine and treat patients who have problems related to balance, mobility and upper extremity function, based on the best available evidence supporting the clinical practice. A ...
You've probably seen it before: a human brain dramatically lit from the side, the camera circling it like a helicopter shot of Stonehenge, and a modulated baritone voice exalting the brain's elegant design in reverent tones. To which this book says: pure nonsense. In a work at once deeply learned and wonderfully accessible, the neuroscientist ...
