Cells of the Nervous System – Neuroanatomy and Cellular Physiology Fundamentals (2025) Jason Ryan, MD, MPH

Description

A comprehensive review of the cellular components of the central and peripheral nervous systems, including neurons, astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, and Schwann cells. Topics cover the mechanism of the action potential (Na/K channels), the organization of white and gray matter, nervous system divisions, and the clinical relevance of glial cell pathology, such as gliomas, gliosis, demyelinating diseases (PML, Guillain-Barre), and the function of neurotoxins and local anesthetics.
