The Mysterious Case of Patient X is adapted from an actual clinical case of a famous American writer whose symptoms initially presented as Parkinson's disease. His complex medical history challenges students to investigate alternative diagnoses. Students confront the complexity of biomedical systems from the molecular and cellular processes that underlie neuronal degeneration to the organization and integration of brain regions that control the symptoms of disease. The case is written for upper-level undergraduate or beginning graduate students in biology or neuroscience but could be adapted for introductory neuroscience courses.
《X 患者的神秘病例》改编自一位美国著名作家的真实临床病例,其症状最初表现为帕金森病。他复杂的病史促使学生去探究其他可能的诊断。学生们要面对生物医学系统的复杂性,从神经元退化背后的分子和细胞过程,到控制疾病症状的脑区的组织与整合。该病例是为生物或神经科学专业的高年级本科生或研究生一年级学生编写的,但也可改编用于神经科学入门课程。
