How does the brain work to see, hear, feel-and to control our amazing abilities to think and move? Neural mechanisms from cells to systems are explained in this compact, readable neuroscience guide. Master the physiology of the human nervous system as you visualize nerve impulses, synaptic transmission, touch and pain perception, hearing, vision, reflexes, voluntary movement, speech, memory and EEG. Learn about cerebral activity in the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes. See the physiology of the nervous system illustrated with diagrams and engaging examples from medicine and everyday life.

This compact eBook can track a neuroscience, physiology, or neurobiology course and supplement mega-sized books and neuroanatomy texts. Includes optional test review questions. Builds a foundation for human physiology, neurology, and biological psychology.

FEATURES INCLUDE:
• Nerve cells, brain and spinal cord-from micro structures to working systems
– Giant axons from the squid reveal sodium channels with nano-scale voltage sensors and gates
– Frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes of the cerebrum and their functions
• The nerve impulse-an electrochemical signal that travels well
• Synapses with neurotransmitters like glutamate and GABA
• Somatic sensation-how people feel touch and pain-parietal lobe functions and syndromes
• Hearing and balance-sensing sound-waves & bodily positions-from receptors to temporal lobe cortex
• Vision-from the eye & retina network to visual cortex & feature detection in occipital lobes
• Movement and reflexes-motor cortex, basal ganglia, motor neurons, muscle fibers
– How practice could boost neural connectivity
– The Neurological Exam outline
– Parkinson’s Disease and other movement disorders
• Autonomic nervous system-sympathetic emergency responses & parasympathetic relaxation
• Cerebral activity and cognitive functions-EEG, sleep, epilepsy, memory, speech, cognition
– Mental Status Examination outline
• Updated view of the brain, mental health, MRI, and research
– Neurotransmitters glutamate, GABA, norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, endorphins
• Diagrams of neural pathways and mechanisms, with interaction of sensory and motor pathways
• Test review questions
• Neuroscience terms
