| Summary |
"The Human Brain and its Disorders offers an introduction to the human brain and the human nervous system; what happens when normal neural function is lost, and how resulting disorders can be treated. Written specifically for the non-specialist by experts in each sub-discipline, the book uses extensive examples and real-life case studies to show how the theory applies in reality."--BOOK JACKET |
