It is truer in neurology than in any other system of medicine that a firm knowledge of basic science material, that is, the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the nervous system, enables one to readily arrive at the diagnosis of where the disease process is located and to apply their knowledge at solving problems in clinical situations. The purpose of this textbook is to enable a neuroscientist to discuss the structure and functions of the brain at a level appropriate for students at many levels of study including undergraduate, graduate, dental, or medical school level. The authors have a long experience in teaching neuroscience courses at the first- or second-year level to medical and dental students and to residents in which clinical information and clinical problem-solving are integral to the course. The authors reach this object by integrating basic sciences with neurological clinical cases containing MRI, CT or fMRI images. See more

About Elliott M. MarcusStanley JacobsonStanley Pugsley
Dr. Jacobson has taught neuroanatomy and gross anatomy for many years to medical and dental students at Tufts University School of Medicine and an upper level biology course on the Central Nervous System to undergraduates at Tufts University in Medford MA utilizing many of Dr. Marcus cases to engage the students. He also has used several movies on the brain developed in Hollywood to further involve the students. Dr. Pugsley is a senior neurosurgeon with extensive clinical and teaching experience. He trained in Neurosurgery at Tufts University School of Medicine. He observed that the inclusion of case history materials reinforces the basic science subject matter learned by markedly increasing the interest of the students in both basic and clinical science material. He has added many new cases and a neurosurgeons prospective to disease. Dr. Elliott M. Marcus M.D. was the father of neurosciences at the Tufts University School of Medicine. With his passing in 2011 we lost a dear friend colleague dynamic teacher and an outstanding neurologist. We are using in this book many of the cases he developed to teach problem solving skills to medical students dental students and residents in neurology and medicine as they address disease in the CNS.
