Publisher's Synopsis
This book combines information derived from both the clinic and the laboratory to provide a collection of summaries that explore the neuroanatomical, neurochemical and neurophysiological foundations for an understanding of clinical syndromes. It will interest two major groups - non-clinical neuroscientists who wish to know the importance of their work in the interpretation of disease processes and clinicians who seek to understand the rationale of the therapeutic measures they employ. Furthermore it will provide an introduction to those in pharmaceutical research whose task it is to advance the availability of effective drugs for use in neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry.
