AB  - Students  of  neurobiology,  especially  medical  students,  often  experience  a  wheat-chaff  problem:  Amidst  an  onrushing  deluge  of  facts  and  concepts,  how  does  one  tell  which  information  has  clinical  relevance?  Do  physicians  actually  encounter  symptoms  and  signs  that  reflect  the  difference  between  ligand-gated  and  voltage-gated  ion  channels?  Does  the  proper  choice  of  diagnostic  studies  ever  require  awareness  that  the  spinothalamic  tract  is  a  crossed  ascending  system  whereas  the  dorsal  column  is  not?  Does  it  matter  that  a  protein  called  tau  binds  to  microtubules?  It  was  with  such  questions  in  mind  that  Dr.  Eric  Kandel  invited  me  to  write  a  companion  volume  to  Kandel,  Schwartz,  and  Jessell’s  Principles  of  Neural  Science,  Fourth  Edition,  with  the  broad  aim  of  demonstrating  the  applicability  of  neurobiology  to  clinical  decision  making.  In  addition,  it  was  thought  readers  might  discover  that  understanding  clinical  phenomena  in  neurobiological  terms  can  be  good  fun.
