A Short History of Medicine

a well-delineated, thoughtful, and complete review of all aspects of neuroscience, with specific focus on underlying neuronal structure and its relation to function and behavior. It is notable that the text reviews in-depth scientific literature, research evidence, and is most geared towards individuals who have both research and clinical backgrounds. Conversely, clinicians with limited neuroscience background may find it difficult to interpret some of the cited studies and information. The focus on innovative findings within a well-organized structure provides fundamental knowledge for researchers and medical (especially mental-health) professionals. The thorough discussion of related psychiatric conditions and relevant behavioral neuroscience literature will especially benefit clinicians who are hoping to understand the underlying neurobiological basis for emotional and behavioral issues that warrant clinical attention. In closing, the text is an excellent, well-organized, detailed yet concise, pertinent review of relevant behavioral neuroscience and is highly recommended for clinician-scientists well versed in the neurosciences.
