Carpenter's Neurophysiology

Neurophysiology: A Conceptual Approach offers a refreshing alternative to ‘learning by rote’. The seventh edition preserves the legacy of the original author, the late Roger Carpenter, retaining the concise approach and readable style so central to its predecessors. Integrating the disciplines of neurology and neuroscience with an emphasis on principles and functional concepts, this comprehensive textbook covers the entire subject of neurophysiology, from the conduction of nerve impulses to the higher functions of the brain, within a single accessible volume.Key Features:Blends successfully the principles of neuroscience with clinical manifestations in line with modern undergraduate curriculumsContains everything a student of medicine or physiology needs to understand about neurophysiologySubstantially revised and updated content on nerve action potential propagation, the special senses, and higher brain functions, molecular basis of memory, and neural decision-making mechanisms, reflecting current understanding in each of these areasHundreds of full-colour illustrations accompanied by full figure legends help elucidate key concepts and mechanismsThe new edition’s enhanced pedagogy includes summary boxes, which are scattered throughout chapters and aim to provide quick, at-a-glance reinforcement of key concepts that enhance retention and save study timeFree access to a companion website hosting resources for both instructors and students, including glossary flashcards, additional notes, multiple choice questions and figure slides that can be downloaded for use in presentationsThis book remains an unrivalled ‘one-stop shop’ for students of medicine, physiology and applied physiology, neurophysiology, neuroscience, and other bioscience disciplines seeking an integrated introduction to the challenging disciplines of neuroscience and neurology.
