Fully updated and revised according to student feedback, the sixth edition of Mayo Clinic Medical Neurosciences: Organized by Neurologic System and Level provides a systematic approach to anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the nervous system inspired by the neurologist's approach to solving clinical problems. This volume has 4 sections: 1) an overview of the neurosciences necessary for understanding anatomical localization and pathophysiologic characterization of neurologic disorders; 2) an approach to localizing lesions in the 7 longitudinal systems of the nervous system; 3) an approach to localizing lesions in the 4 horizontal levels of the nervous system; and 4) a collection of clinical problems. This book provides the neuroscience framework to support the neurologist in a clinical setting and is also a great resource for neurology and psychiatry board certifications. This is the perfect guide for all medical students and neurology, psychiatry, and physical medicine residents at early stages of training.
New to This Edition
- A chapter devoted to multiple-choice questions for self-assessment
- Discussion of emerging concepts in molecular, cellular, and system neurosciences
- New chapters on emotion and consciousness systems
- Incorporation of new discoveries in neuroimaging and an appendix for tables of medications commonly used to treat neurologic disorders
"Back in 1978, the first edition of Mayo Clinic Medical Neurosciences revolutionized our approach to teaching by aligning neuroscience knowledge to a clinician's approach to patient assessment. From those historical roots, the authors of this sixth edition set out on a daring enterprise to produce an updated and reorganized book. What follows is an erudite, insightful, and intellectually stimulating journey as we are led from gene to connectome and from perception to consciousness. It is a tailor made compendium that provides critical insight on applied neurosciences. Rich and detailed, it's an invaluable reference for anyone inculcated into the enchanted landscape of the basic and clinical neurosciences. This book needs to be savored one page at a time."--Jose Biller, MD, FACP, FAAN, FANA, FAHA, Professor and Chairman, Department of Neurology, Loyola University Chicago, Stritch School of Medicine, Chicago, IL
"This newest edition of Medical Neurosciences from the team at the Mayo Clinic presents neuroscience in an organized, systematic approach with clearly defined objectives for each chapter as well as a plethora of helpful vignettes which demonstrate the important clinical correlations for the reader. The writing style is very easy to follow and engaging. Key points for each chapter highlight the most high-yield teaching points and are helpful for students preparing for national board examinations."--Joseph E. Safdieh, MD, FAAN, Lewis and Rachel Rudin Foundation Education Scholar, Vice Chair for Education and Associate Professor, Department of Neurology, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, NY
"What makes this book so unique is that it is a "basic neuroscience" book written by expert neurologic clinicians and educators, who also happen to be remarkably knowledgeable about basic neuroscience, so that every aspect of the text is written with the ultimate goal of each of us providing the most informed care to our patients with neurologic disorders. Although written as a medical education text for medical students regardless of ultimate specialty, this book is even of tremendous value for those "seasoned" neurologic clinicians among us, to help us learn, or relearn, the basic neuroscience that is so integral to the optimal diagnosis and management of our patients." --Steven L. Lewis, MD, Chief, Division of Neurology, Lehigh Valley Health Network, Allentown, PA, Editor-in-Chief, Continuum: Lifelong Learning in Neurology
