The whole complex system is dealt through carefully designed learning outcomes complemented with clinically applied aspects to make the subject very relevant for MBBS students. A special effort is made to further increase understanding of the subject by including thought provoking questions framed to provide an opportunity to recapitulate, conceptualize and reinforce important concepts. Additionally, some good to know information is put in boxes throughout. The entire subject of neurophysiology which most students find difficult has been made easy to understand. Experienced teachers have put in their best efforts to simplify the much dreaded ‘Nervous System’ knowledge of which is so essential for understanding not only functions of the different systems of the body but also human behavior and emotions. Authors strongly believe that the book will be very useful for the students of MBBS, BDS and allied health sciences like pharmacy, physiotherapy etc.
