Mastering Medical Neurosciences: A Comprehensive Guide for Students and Residents

The sixth edition of Mayo Clinic Medical Neurosciences: Organized by Neurologic System and Level has been fully updated and revised based on student feedback, providing a systematic approach to understanding the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the nervous system. Inspired by the neurologist’s approach to solving clinical problems, this volume is divided into four sections:

Section 1: Neurosciences Overview

This section provides an essential background in neurosciences necessary for understanding anatomical localization and pathophysiologic characterization of neurologic disorders.

Section 2: Longitudinal Systems of the Nervous System

Learn how to localize lesions in the 7 longitudinal systems of the nervous system, a crucial skill for any aspiring neurologist.

Section 3: Horizontal Levels of the Nervous System

Discover how to localize lesions in the 4 horizontal levels of the nervous system, essential knowledge for neurology and psychiatry residents.

Section 4: Clinical Problems and Self-Assessment

Put your knowledge to the test with a collection of clinical problems and a chapter devoted to multiple-choice questions for self-assessment.

New to this edition are:

• A discussion of emerging concepts in molecular, cellular, and system neurosciences
• New chapters on emotion and consciousness systems
• Incorporation of new discoveries in neuroimaging
• An appendix featuring tables of medications commonly used to treat neurologic disorders

This comprehensive guide provides the neuroscience framework to support neurologists in a clinical setting and is an invaluable resource for neurology and psychiatry board certifications. It is the perfect guide for all medical students and neurology, psychiatry, and physical medicine residents at early stages of training.

Published by Oxford University Press, this 776-page hardcover volume is a must-have for anyone looking to master medical neurosciences.
