Some people think physiology of the brain is impossible to comprehend, but the truth is the basic structure of living systems is elegantly simple, it is the models, theories, language and research methods scientists construct to describe it that makes all of human physiology appear so complex.
Books
Dr. Thompson Reece writes insightful books to help newcomers to medical science understand human physiology. Her company, Reece Biomedical Consulting LLC, is an independent publishing company that authors books and a blog https://www.medicalsciencenavigator.com to help beginning students master the human anatomy and physiology they need to pursue a career in health care.
Dr. Thompson Reece is an advocate for teaching neuroscience early in introductory physiology courses. Nervous system circuits are major players in the functional processes of every anatomic system. Getting students past the fear that the nervous system is too hard to learn helps them understand how human body systems interact with each other.
But first students need a bit some knowledge of water chemistry, because watery fluids are the be body’s communication platform. So, she first authored a concise book describing how physiological chemistry works.
“Physiology: Custom-Designed Chemistry, getting past the anxiety that physiologic chemistry is too hard to learn”, where anatomy and physiology students discover water’s chemistry, the chemistry which provides a communication platform for living systems. Unlike molecular reactions in organic chemistry labs, body chemistry is limited to a narrow range of temperature and takes place in a single solvent, water. Here you find a small set of laws from chemistry that are used repeatedly to explain how anatomic systems interact. Click cover image.
“Inside the Closed World of the Brain, How brain cells connect, share and disengage–and why this holds the key to Alzheimer’s disease”, displayed at the American Library Association’s midwinter meeting in Boston, January 8-12, 2016 as part of The Combined Book Exhibit; nominated for a 2016 IPPY award and for the 2015 Most Promising New Textbook at the Text and Academic Author Association, provided source information for blog tour presented as a partner with the Dana Foundation during Brain Awareness Week, March 13-19, 2017.
“
“Busy Student’s Anatomy & Physiology Study Journal” where students apply the principles of spaced study with the help of a journal. Research has shown that spaced study over weeks enhances memory and strengthens the brain’s recall of new ideas. This journal helps students organize their spaced study time. Click cover image.
