Essentials of Neurophysiology

In this book, I approach neurophysiology at the interface of neurology and clinical neurophysiology. The medical disciplines of the nervous system, neurology and clinical neurophysiology, rest heavily on other sciences, notably cellular biology, neuro-anatomy, neuro-physiology, applied physics and mathematical biology. Existing medical textbooks on neurophysiology, neurology and clinical neurophysiology are an excellent source of the phenomenology of various principles and diseases. Here, I choose to elucidate some of the underlying physiological, physical processes and experimental methods, intended for a broad audience – medical residents and students, as well as students in the emerging area of medical technical sciences. I feel that a good understanding of fundamentals may significantly enhance insight into various aspects of clinical neurology and clinical neu- physiology. This book, therefore, is focused on a selection of clinical signs and symptoms to highlight basic principles of neurology, (neuro-)physiology and neuroanatomy. While I  believe this text to be of interest to medical students or residents in neurology or clinical neurophysiology, I further specifically aim at students  interested in contributing to new developments and innovations in neurology and clinical neurophysiology.
