With advances in medicine and medical innovation, the face of neurosurgery has changed dramatically. A new era of surgeons values the need to undertake research in everyday practice and actively participate in the clinic and laboratory in order to improve patient prognosis. Highlighting the principles of basic NEUROSCIENCE and its application to neurosurgical disease, this book breaks down neurological conditions into current academic themes and advances. The book is split into two sections, with the first covering basic and computational NEUROSCIENCE including neuroanatomy, synaptic transmission and the growing use of artificial intelligence. The second section concentrates on specific conditions, such as gliomas, spinal tumors, and peripheral nerve injury. Outlining the clinical and pathophysiological principles of neurological conditions, this valuable book describes key animal models, helping clinicians design and conduct appropriate research projects to further knowledge and impro
本书分为基础、感觉和运动系统、脑和行为、变化的脑4篇，共25章。第Ⅰ篇介绍了现代神经科学研究领域及其历史渊源，并描述了单个神经元的结构和功能，以及它们之间是如何进行化学通讯并构成神经系统的。第Ⅱ篇讨论了感觉和运动两大神经系统的结构和功能。第Ⅲ篇探讨了行为的神经生物学机制，包括动机、性、情绪、睡眠、语言、注意和精神疾病。第Ⅳ篇关注了发育和成年学习记忆过程中脑的可塑性变化。
