Neuropathology and Basic Neuroscience

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This new addition to the Oklahoma Notes series is written specifically to fit with modern neuroscience courses, which integrate basic science (anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology of the nervous system) with clinical science (how diseases of the nervous system present in the clinic). Each Oklahoma Notes book presents the core information of one segment of the medical school curriculum. Written by some of the most effective medical educators in the country, and now thoroughly updated and revised, the Oklahoma Notes feature: Concise text presented in outline format for rapid review; contents oriented to promote Boards success; self-assessment questions geared to the current format of the USMLE exam; more tables and figures designed to facilitate self-assessment and review; and low-cost, complete coverage of all subjects taught in the first two years of medical school.
