Why a book on molecular neurology? Molecular neuroscience is advancing at a spectacular rate. As it does so, it is revealing important clues to the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of neurological diseases, and to the therapeutic targets that they present. Medicines work by targeting molecules. The more specific the targeting, the more specific the actions, and the fewer the side effects. Molecular Neurology highlights, for graduate and MD-PhD students, research fellows and research-oriented clinical fellows, and researchers in the neurosciences and other biomedical sciences, the principles underlying molecular medicine as related to neurology. Written by internationally recognized experts, this well-illustrated and well-referenced book presents the most up-to-date principles and disease examples relevant to molecular neurology, and reviews the concepts, strategies, and latest progress in this field. This book will interest anyone studying the molecular basis of neurology, or developing new therapies in neurology.

This book examines the role of neurons in multiple sclerosis (MS) and the changes that occur in neurons as a result of MS. It places MS in a new and important perspective that not only explains the basis for symptom production, remission, and progress in MS, but also promises to open up new therapeutic possibilities.

A comprehensive, highly-visual guide to neuroanatomy and its functional and clinical applicationsEngagingly written and extensively illustrated, Clinical Neuroanatomy provides an accessible synopsis of neuroanatomy and its functional and clinical implications. You'll learn everything you need to know about the structure and function of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. This authoritative guide illustrates clinical presentations of disease processes involving specific structures, explores the relationship between neuroanatomy and neurology, and reviews advances in molecular and cellular biology and neuropharmacology as related to neuroanatomy. The book features case studies and hundreds of visual images, including CT and MRI scans, block diagrams showing muscle actions, root-by-root and nerve-by-nerve images of sensory areas and muscle intervention, and more.This updated edition features: "Essentials for the Clinician" information boxes that make essential points even clearerA discussion of the latest advances in molecular biology and cellular biology in the context of neuroanatomyA unique chapter on "Introduction to Clinical Thinking" that puts neuroanatomy in clear clinical perspectiveSummary listings at the end of each chapterBlock diagrams illustrating the actions of each muscleClear root-by-root and nerve-by-nerve illustrations of sensory areas and muscle interventionCoverage of the basic structure and function of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervesAppendix topics including neurologic examination, testing muscle function, and spinal nerves and plexusesCase studies demonstrating how concepts apply to real-world situationsA complete practice exam to assess your knowledge
