Desk Reference for Neuroscience

In recent years, the boundaries of the neurological fields have blurred, and students and scientists in all subdivisions of neuroscience now must be familiar not only with the terminology of their own specialty but also with that of the related disciplines. This second edition has been revised and expanded to reflect these changes. The dictionary has been amplified to include terms from neurophysiology, neuropathology, and neuropharmacology, in addition to neuroanatomy. Illustrations have been added and the references and bibliography thoroughly updated. Students and scientists should find the second edition of the this text an accessible and practical guide to essential terms and definitions in all branches of the neurosciences.
