Worldwide, undergraduate medical curricula are moving towards integration of basic medical and clinical sciences to enhance student understanding of how the basic sciences underpin clinical medicine. Recent rapid progress made in the understanding of cellular mechanisms and genomics, together with developments in technical clinical procedures, means that the amount of factual knowledge required for the effective practice of medicine can be overwhelming for the undergraduate. Understanding and synthesis of this knowledge is essential for effective application to the practice of clinical medicine. The team of clinical and scientific experts on this book integrates information from the diverse branches of medical science (such as cellular biochemistry, anatomy, physiology and genetics) with clinical examples to illustrate how dysfunction leads to disease. First textbook of its kind, designed to complement Kumar and Clark’s Clinical Medicine by covering the basic sciences in a clinical context. Reflects undergraduate medical curricula changes, particularly in the UK, which have significantly reduced the amount of time students spend learning the basics sciences. Mirrors the current integrated approach to teaching the basic sciences (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, general pathology) and provides all the student needs to know about these subjects in one textbook. Perfect introductory text for graduate medical students without a science background. Presentation, layout and design a mirror of Kumar and Clark’s Clinical Medicine . Market: medical students and other students of the healthcare professions needing the basic sciences in an integrated, clinical context.
This textbook provides an introduction to neuroscience, focusing particularly on the rapidly developing molecular aspects. The techniques of molecular biology are introduced and described in the context of their role in elucidating brain function at the molecular level.
This is an integrated textbook on the nervous system, covering the anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of the system, all presented in a clinically relevant context appropriate for the first two years of the medical student course. - One of the seven volumes in the Systems of the Body series. - Concise text covers the core anatomy, physiology and biochemistry in an integrated manner as required by system- and problem-based medical courses. - The basic science is presented in the clinical context in a way appropriate for the early part of the medical course. - There is a linked website providing self-assessment material ideal for examination preparation.

Neurobiologists are bound to differ in their perceptions of what the discipline of molecular neurobiology should encompass. We have taken the view that molecular neurobiology should cover any aspect of brain science that uses the techniques of modern molecular biology, though we accept the fact that classification of a technique as a "biochemical* or "molecular biological* one is in itself somewhat arbitrary. Each chapter of this volume sets out to identify a clear problem in neurobiology and to place it in its context within the literatu- i.e., indicating how the solution of the problem will advance knowledge in the field. The core of the chapter then details the approaches taken to solve the problem, in sufficient detail that the reader can appre- ate exactly why a specific strategy was adopted and how it was executed. Each chapter also includes detailed protocols providing all the inf- mation necessary to reproduce the technique and its results in any appropriately equipped laboratory.
