The Human Nervous System [electronic resource] : Structure and Function / by Charles R. Noback, Norman L. Strominger, Robert J. Demarest, David A. Ruggiero.

Call Number	612.8
Author	Noback, Charles R. author.
Title	The Human Nervous System Structure and Function / by Charles R. Noback, Norman L. Strominger, Robert J. Demarest, David A. Ruggiero.
Edition	Sixth Edition.
Physical Description	416p. 178 illus. online resource.
Contents	Gross Anatomy of the Brain -- Neurons and Associated Cells -- Basic Neurophysiology -- Blood Circulation -- Meninges, Ventricles and Cerebrospinal Fluid -- Development and Growth of the Nervous System -- The Spinal Cord -- Reflexes and Muscle Tone -- Pain and Temperature -- Discriminative General Senses, Crude Touch, and Proprioception -- Motoneurons and Motor Pathways -- Lesions of the Spinal Nerves and Spinal Cord -- Brainstem: Medulla, Pons, and Midbrain -- Cranial Nerves and Chemical Senses -- Neurotransmitters as the Chemical Messengers of Certain Circuits and Pathways -- Auditory and Vestibular Systems -- Lesions of the Brainstem -- Cerebellum -- The Visual System -- Autonomic Nervous System -- Hypothalamus -- The Reticular Formation and the Limbic System -- Thalamus -- Basal Ganglia and Extrapyramidal System -- Cerebral Cortex.
Summary	Now in its sixth best-selling edition, The Human Nervous System: Structure and Function continues to combine clear prose with high-quality tailor-made medical illustrations to achieve for neuroscientists and medical students a succinct explanation of the fundamental principles behind the organization, structure, and function of the human nervous system. The distinguished authors take advantage of the many recent advances in neurobiology and molecular biology to include new coverage of such critical discoveries as stem cells, apoptosis, the role of the amygdala in stress, and the significance of dendritic spines. Among the core topics given expanded treatments are pain and pain pathways, the visual system, development and growth of the nervous system, the chemical senses of smell and taste, and the limbic system. There is also fresh material on neuronal stem cells, the auditory and vestibular systems, neurotransmitters as the chemical messengers of certain brain circuits, the cerebellum, and lesions of the spinal nerves, spinal cord, and brainstem. Award-winning medical illustrator Robert J. Demarest has created new and revised legacy illustrations in cooperation with his neuroscientist coauthors, adding 24 figures to the previous 149. His illustrations are designed to extract and visually highlight the essence of the neuroanatomical features embedded in the complexities of the nervous system, thereby allowing the reader to match the structures of the brain with conventional X-ray pictures, and CT, MRI, and PET scans. Highly praised and widely appreciated in its earlier versions, this new 6th edition of The Human Nervous System: Structure and Function incorporates all the latest neuroanatomical discoveries and offers medical students and interested neuroscientists a readily understandable and awe-inspiring view of the organization of the human nervous system. Its explanatory power and visual insight make this book an indispensable source of quick understanding that readers will consult gratefully again and again.
