Neuroanatomy for the Neuroscientist (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this day where research grants are the primary focus, many young investigators are thrown into neurosciences courses without any prior preparation in neuroanatomy. This book is designed to help prepare them by introducing many of the fundamentals of the nervous system. It represents the essentials of an upper level biology course on the central nervous system. It is not designed to be a clinical approach to the nervous system, but rather it approaches the nervous system from a basic science perspective that intertwines both structure and function as an organizing teaching and learning model. Medical and dental examples are included but the main focus is on neuroscience.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Jacobson has taught neuroanatomy and gross anatomy for many years to medical and dental students at Tufts University School of Medicine and an upper level biology course on the Central Nervous System to undergraduates at Tufts University in Medford, MA utilizing many of Dr. Marcus' cases to engage the students. He also has used several movies on the brain developed in Hollywood to further involve  the students.   Dr. Marcus, practiced neurology for 40 years and he developed a case history problem solving sessions in the recent book "Integrated Neurosciences "by EMMarcus , S Jacobson, T Sabin (Oxford U Press, 2114), and he also conducted a problem-solving seminar in which all medical students at the University of Massachusetts participate during their clinical neurology clerkship rotation. This provides the students an opportunity to refresh their problem solving skills and to review and update that basic science material essential for clinical neurology.  Dr. Pugsley isa senior neurosurgeon with extensive clinical and teaching experience.  He trained in Neurosurgery at Tufts University School of Medicine. He observed that the inclusion of case history materials reinforces the basic science subject matter learned by markedly increasing the interest of the students in both basic and clinical science material. He has added many new cases and a neurosurgeons' prospective to disease.
