This book is a fascinating collection of various neuroscience terms coined over the last centuries. Each of the 45 chapters in this book dives deep into the etymologies, vernacular subtleties and historical anecdotes relating to these terms. The book illustrates the rich and diverse history of neuroscience, which has borrowed and continues to borrow terms and concepts from across cultures, literature and languages. The ever-increasing number of terms that needed to be coined with the mushrooming of the field required neuroscientists to show astonishing imagination and creativity, leading them to draw inspiration from Graeco-Roman mythology (Elpenor’s syndrome), literature (Lasthenie de Ferjol’s syndrome), theatre (Ondine’s curse), Japanese folklore (Kanashibari), and even the Bible (Matthew effect). This book will of be immense interest to scholars and researchers studying neuroscience, history of science, anatomy, psychology and linguistics. It will also appeal to any reader interested in learning more about neuroscience and its history. All the chapters included in this book were originally published in a column that appeared from 1997 to 2020 in the Journal of the History of the Neurosciences.

Designed to help you comprehend and retain the challenging material you need to know, Fundamental Neuroscience for Basic and Clinical Applications, Sixth Edition, covers the essential neuroscience information needed for coursework, exams, and beyond. Using a rigorous yet clinically-focused approach, it integrates neuroanatomy, pharmacology, and physiology, with separate sections devoted to essential concepts, regional neurobiology, and systems neurobiology.

It is not the goal of the present volume to promote Galago as an animal model, but to alert investigators to the potential thereof. In this respect, this collection of papers serves as a general introduction. The subjects covered are purposefully broad so as to illustrate that Galago not only has been, but may be, utilized with success in a variety of research areas. Most papers deal with the pros and cons of utilizing Galago in a specific line of research and in many instances discuss potential problems which may arise. The established value of the lesser bushbaby in particular reseach endeavour is also discussed and illustrated by some contributors.

With its unique integration of clinical information, correlations, and terminology with neuroanatomic concepts, Neuroanatomy Atlas in Clinical Context: Structures, Sections, Systems, and Syndromes, 11th Edition, provides everything you need to not only master the anatomy of the central nervous system, but also understand its clinical relevance. Clear explanations and dynamic imagery synthesize neuroscience concepts, delivering a comprehensive, clinically oriented overview of systems neurobiology.  The 11th Edition is enhanced throughout, combining the authoritative approach for which this legendary text is known with updated full-color images and pathway illustrations, clinical highlights, and hundreds of review questions to strengthen your exam confidence and ready you for clinical rotations.  UPDATED! New and expanded clinical content reflects the latest neuroscience knowledge. UPDATED! Color illustrations, photographs, and clinical images (MRIs, CTs, OCTs, etc.) clarify neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. NEW! OCT images of ocular conditions commonly encountered in clinical practice. UPDATED! Pathway drawings emphasize the structure and function of neural pathways in vibrant detail.  Color-coded clinical content makes it easy to identify clinical comments or examples and reinforces correlations to neuroanatomic context. UPDATED! Terminology conforms to the latest Terminologia Anatomica to ensure clinical fluency. UPDATED! USMLE-style Review Questionswith detailed explanations provide essential review and remediation and boost test-taking confidence.
