Product Description

The second edition of this introductory text uses clinical examples to bridge the gap between basic neuroscience and the practice of neurologic rehabilitation. Each chapter illustrates the relationship between the nervous system and behavior. Current, portable, and clearly written, the text covers discrete systems for acquiring information, the neural mechanisms that control specific kinds of human function, and how the nervous system responds to insult and injury. New in this edition: Neurotransmitters, support structures and blood supply, sensorimotor interaction, and aging of the nervous system.

Occupational Therapy Student review
This book was recommended to us as the bible of rehabilitation for OTs and physios. The introductory chapters were very helpful for giving an overview. However, I did find the rest of the book quite technical. The clinical correlations section was useful. I am sure that the book will be very useful for reference in future years
