Product Description

The new fourth edition of this highly successful textbook covers the entire subject of neurophysiology from the conduction of nerve impulses to the higher functions of the brain. Particular emphasis is placed on principles and functional concepts.

The book is accompanied by a CD containing not only an upgraded version of the highly acclaimed Neurolab interactive simulations, but an atlas of neuroanatomy, animated diagrams of brain development, MCQs with timings and explained answers, a review of neuro websites on neuroscience with links, and moving footage of the neurological examination and the clinical signs of the major neurological conditions.

With more functional anatomy and clinical cases, this new edition presents an integrated textbook of neurology/neuroscience for medical students, physiology students, neuroscience students, and bioscience students taking physiology and neuroscience modules.

Includes free CD with innovative, interactive simulations and other material, including the full, searchable text

Customer Reviews

SimpleBrainThink
Carpenter has single-handedly simplified a horribly complex subject without losing (much) detail, and in the process made it understandable and fun.

If you want to learn about anatomy, don't read this book. If you like boring lists of sensory and motor pathways, don't read this book. If you haven't got a clue what's going on and want a good grounding in the principles and perplexing concepts of neurophysiology, this is the book for you.

Actually made me like Neurophysiology.

Excellent on concepts - poorer on detail
This book explains many diificult neurophysiological concepts in an original and easily understandable way. Although some of the detail is a bit dodgy, and the diagrams are far from professional, this is a good adjunct to another, more detailed text such as Kandel which will enable you to get yor head round the concepts and cut through the morass of detail. Dr Carpenter has done a good job in transferring his lecturing skills to the black and white (and multiple shades of pink) of the written word
