Produktbeschreibung

Demonstrating the value of interaction between neurology and the basic sciences that underpin it, this volume considers a range of topics from the points of view of both neurobiologist and clinician and reveals how advances in our understanding have been and continue to be made. The selected topics cover a wide range of levels of organization in the nervous system.
