Medical Neurobiology, Second Edition continues the work of Dr.
Peggy Mason as one of the few single author textbooks available.
Written in an engaging style for the vast majority of medical
students who will choose to specialize in internal medicine,
orthopedics, oncology, cardiology, emergency medicine, and the
like, as well as the student interested in neurology, psychiatry,
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.
Thoroughly updated as a result of student feedback, the topics are
strictly honed and logically organized to meet the needs of the
time-pressed student studying on-the-go. This textbook allows the

the practice of medicine through the use of memorable stories,
