This is an introductory textbook which specifically addresses the question of what happens to the human nervous system during ageing, after damage, or as a result of genetically inherited defects, discussing some of the ways in which nervous system functioning and patterns of behaviour can change or go wrong. The subject matter is extensively illustrated in clear, two-colour diagrams, and each chapter ends with a list of learning objectives and questions.
