Nervous System

---

AuthorrnrnThe nervous system is one of our body’s most fascinating organ systems. However, the vast literature and seemingly complex concepts surrounding the subject can be an intimidating prospect for medical students. This textbook has been written specifically with medical students in mind and aims to present the nervous system in a way that is accessible and relevant to undergraduates. Not only is the information more than enough to pass your undergraduate exams, more importantly it will provide a strong foundation in the basic neurosciences that will prove invaluable in your study of the clinical neurosciences.rnrnI wish you the best of luck with your exams!rnrnJenny RossrnrnFaculty advisorrnrnSince my undergraduate medical training two decades ago, the curriculum has changed greatly. On the negative side formal courses covering neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neuropharmacology have disappeared. On the positive side they have been replaced by more integrated courses with greater emphasis on clinical relevance. This book is aligned with the ethos of integration. In one single volume the reader is provided with a clinically relevant introduction to neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropathology and neuropharmacology. In addition there is a section covering neuropsychology, an important and developing area of clinical neuroscience. A key element in the success of the book is the section around clinical examination of the nervous system, building on the basic neuroscience discussed in the preceding chapters.rnrnHave the previous editions been successful? The level of sales and the feedback from students would suggest the book is filling an important slot in the crowded marketplace of clinical neuroscience textbooks. An important part of the success of the “Crash Course” books is that they are written by students for students, and that with every new edition comes a new author with the ability to critically evaluate the previous edition. The third edition was written by Tom Miller and Mark Hughes, and both have now graduated and are developing successful careers in clinical neuroscience. The fourth edition has been revised by Jenny Ross, a senior medical student. The layout of the book has been modified and the self assessment section expanded. However, Jenny has retained the ethos of the previous edition and has made my job as faculty advisor of this edition straightforward. I am delighted with the end result.rn rnPrefacesrnrnrnClinical neuroscience remains an exciting and rewarding career choice. Study of the nervous system can initially be daunting but for those who take a little time to familiarize themselves with the basic principles the rewards can be great. Clinical neurosciences impact on all aspects of medical care and patients with neurological problems are common and deserve at least a basic standard of care from all doctors they encounter. I hope this book will encourage students to achieve a fundamental understanding of the nervous system and that, for a small number, will be the first step towards a more detailed knowledge and the beginnings of a long and fulfilling career investigating and treating disorders of the nervous system.rnrnColin Smith
