Mayo Foundation does not endorse any particular products or services, and the reference to any products or services in this book is for informational purposes only and should not be taken as an endorsement by the authors or Mayo Foundation. Care has been taken to confirm the accuracy of the information presented and to describe generally accepted practices. However, the authors, editors, and publisher are not responsible for errors or omissions or for any consequences from application of the information in this book and make no warranty, express or implied, with respect to the contents of the publication. This book should not be relied on apart from the advice of a qualified health care provider.

The authors, editors, and publisher have exerted efforts to ensure that drug selection and dosage set forth in this text are in accordance with current recommendations and practice at the time of publication. However, in view of ongoing research, changes in government regulations, and the constant flow of information relating to drug therapy and drug reactions, readers are urged to check the package insert for each drug for any change in indications and dosage and for added wordings and precautions. This is particularly important when the recommended agent is a new or infrequently employed drug.

Some drugs and medical devices presented in this publication have US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for limited use in restricted research settings. It is the responsibility of the health care providers to ascertain the FDA status of each drug or device planned for use in their clinical practice.

To the medical students and residents of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, who have provided the stimulus for this venture by teaching us as we have taught them, who have helped us refine our objectives and methods of presentation, and who through their enthusiasm have encouraged us to prepare another edition of this book.

The first edition of Mayo Clinic Medical Neurosciences, published in 1978, presented an organization of knowledge of the nervous system based on the neurologists approach to clinical problems. For medical students and residents alike, this framework served as an effective foundation on which to build knowledge in the classroom and at the bedside. Continued advances in knowledge of the nervous system required updating the text through the previous 5 editions.

Increasingly rapid expansion in understanding the normal brain and its responses to disease over the past 9 years demanded yet another revision for this, the Sixth Edition. Whereas the primary approach here is the same as in previous editions and aims to provide basic neuroscience concepts to solve clinical problems, this new edition has incorporated new information on emerging concepts in molecular, cellular, and system neurosciences, as well as neuroimaging approaches to reveal normal brain function and neurologic disease. This information is important for understanding neurologic disorders, ranging from abnormalities in gene, protein, synapse, or circuit function to dysfunction of widespread brain networks involved in sensory processing, motor control, homeostasis, behavioral state, emotion, and cognition.
