orthopedics, oncology, cardiology, emergency medicine, and the

or ophthalmology, this textbook provides a sturdy scaffold upon
which a more detailed specialized knowledge can be built. Unlike
other neuroscience textbooks, this new edition continues to focus
exclusively on the human, covering everything from neuroanatomy to
perception, motor control, homeostasis, and pathophysiology. Dr.
Mason uniquely explains how disease and illness affect one's
neurobiological functions and how they manifest in a person.
