Author Description
This volume provides an in-depth exploration of the neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and neurophysiological aspects of clinical disease syndromes. It will be of value to neuroscientists wanting to measure the importance of their work in the interpretation of the disease process, to cliniciansseeking a greater understanding of the rationale for the measures they employ, and to pharmaceutical researchers needing information on drugs used in neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry. Widely scattered information on the roles of neurotransmitters in normal physiological functions is broughttogether in this easy-to-use reference. source.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This volume investigates the complex relationship between neurotransmitter function and the development of clinical disease syndromes. J. D. Pearson synthesizes neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and neurophysiological data to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding how chemical signaling in the brain influences pathology. The text serves as a bridge between basic research and clinical application, offering a structured analysis of physiological processes in both healthy and diseased states.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Detailed analysis of neuroanatomical and neurophysiological mechanisms
- Examination of neurotransmitter roles in clinical disease syndromes
- Pharmacological data relevant to neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry
- A consolidated reference for scattered physiological research
Scope Limits
- Does not provide exhaustive clinical treatment protocols for every listed condition
- Focuses primarily on neurotransmission rather than broader neurological imaging techniques
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts identify this work as a valuable reference for neuroscientists, clinicians, and pharmaceutical researchers seeking to connect basic research to clinical practice. Readers frequently note the technical density of the prose, which is designed for professionals requiring a high level of physiological detail.
