TEXTBOOK OF FUNCTIONAL AND CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE is designed to help students understand the nervous system
structures and functions that allow for complex neurophysiological processing in support of human functions and
behavior. Students are guided through learning the vocabulary of contemporary neuroscience, understanding the nervous
system�s structural organization and communications mechanisms, and learning how structures are linked anatomically
and functionally to mediate specific behaviors. To facilitate learning, this text builds incrementally on basic
information to introduce increasingly detailed and complex structures, functions, and terminology. As students
proceed, they develop working knowledge for predicting neurological problems associated with specific diseases
or injury, and analyzing appropriate interventions.
