Neuroscience is a challenging field that is easier to learn when it is understood rather than memorized.

This textbook has been developed taking into account the needs of medical students and is suitable for the majority of undergraduate medical courses. Additionally, this approach is suitable for a curriculum based on cases and problems. The content is suitable not only for the initial, more theoretical years of medical school (when exam preparation and revision are dominant in the mind), but also for later, more clinical years, when the priority is survival during visits to wards and outpatient clinics.

Although this book is particularly interesting for medical students and young doctors, it is suitable for anyone interested in the nervous system and its disorders, including undergraduate and postgraduate students in neuroscience, psychology, and biomedical sciences. The content is also relevant to a wide range of healthcare professions that require a basic knowledge of the nervous system and its disorders. To make it more accessible to readers unfamiliar with medicine, a brief appendix of anatomical terminology has been included.

The ICT (Illustrated Colour Textbook) series of books has been praised by the international academic and medical community for years. Titles in this series serve as core textbooks in the curriculum of many medical schools.
