Neurophysiology: The Working Nervous System This comprehensive textbook provides an in-depth understanding of the human nervous system, from the microscopic structure of neurons to the complex networks responsible for movement, sensation, memory, and higher brain functions. Written in a clear, systematic style, it is designed for students of medicine, BAMS, nursing, pharmacy, and allied health sciences, bridging foundational physiology with clinical relevance. Key Features Systematic, organ-wise coverage of neurophysiology Clinical notes linking physiology with practice Diagrams, flowcharts, and summary tables for clarity Suitable for MBBS, BAMS, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Allied Health students Highlights of Contents Foundations of Neurophysiology – Organization and classification of the nervous system – Neurons, glial cells, nerve fibers, and myelination – Properties of nerve fibers and mechanisms of conduction Neurotransmission & Synapses – Neurotransmitters and neuromodulators – Neuromuscular transmission and clinical disorders – Synaptic mechanisms, EPSPs, IPSPs, inhibition, plasticity Reflexes & Applied Neurophysiology – Reflex arc and types of reflexes – Stretch, tendon, superficial and postural reflexes – Clinical relevance of abnormal reflexes Cerebral Cortex & Higher Functions – Functional areas of the brain (motor, sensory, association) – EEG and electrical activity of the brain – Learning, memory, speech, emotion, and sleep Diencephalon, Basal Ganglia & Limbic System – Thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus, and subthalamus – Basal ganglia circuits and their clinical importance – Limbic system, hippocampus, amygdala, and behavior Cerebellum & Brainstem – Nuclei, connections, and role in motor control – Midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata and their functions Spinal Cord & Tracts – Ascending and descending pathways – Upper vs lower motor neuron lesions – Clinical conditions including Brown-Séquard syndrome Peripheral & Autonomic Nervous Systems – Spinal nerves, dermatomes, cranial nerves – Sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric systems Sensory Systems – Pain, temperature, and somatic sensations – Vision: retina, visual pathways, color vision, field defects – Hearing and vestibular apparatus – Taste and olfaction Key Features ??
