Under new authorship, the sixth edition preserves the legacy of the original author, the late Roger Carpenter, retaining the concise approach and readable style so central to its predecessors. Integrating the disciplines of neurology and neuroscience with an emphasis on principles and functional concepts, this comprehensive textbook covers the entire subject of neurophysiology, from the conduction of nerve impulses to the higher functions of the brain, within a single accessible volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEverything the student of medicine or physiology needs to understand neurophysiology.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBlends successfully the principles of neuroscience with clinical manifestations in line with modern undergraduate curriculums.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRevised and updated, with a particular focus on proprioception, skin sense and hearing, including developments in cochlear implants\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'This book allows readers to craft a strong foundation of the principles of neurophysiology and rely upon this framework for lifelong application of this subject.
