The gold standard of neuroscience texts—updated with hundreds of brand-new images and fully revised content in every chapter. With 300 new illustrations, diagrams, and radiology studies including PET scans, Principles of Neural Science, 6th Edition is the definitive guide for neuroscientists, neurologists, psychiatrists, students, and residents. Highly detailed chapters on stroke, Parkinson’s, and MS build your expertise on these critical topics. Radiological studies the authors have chosen explain what’s most important to know and understand for each type of stroke, progressive MS, or non-progressive MS.
