This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the neurosciences, with attention to both micro- and macro-structures of the nervous system and the brain. It covers various perspectives such as evolution, clinical practice, philosophy, psychology, and behavior, thereby offering an integrated picture of the field.
Practical applicability is at the center: the book discusses how we learn skills, why certain disorders arise, and the possibilities for recovery after brain injury. In addition, complex topics such as consciousness, intentional behavior, and the role of glial cells are clearly explained. This makes the book a valuable reference work for anyone who wants to understand the functioning of the brain and nervous system from different perspectives.
