Neocortex

Medicine is very vast. It takes reading from multiple books and sources, to have a near-complete understanding of a medical subject. • Physiology is a “never-ending” subject; it has application in every other subject of medicine. • Though there is only one exam that evaluates this subject, till the end of the final year, the concepts in Physiology keep popping up every now and then. • Thus, a student has to battle it out on two fronts ~ Writing of precise answers in the University exams, and application of the concepts throughout the course. • NEOCORTEX ~ The notes on Physiology make a sincere attempt at fulfilling both these requirements of a student. • NEOCORTEX gives crisp information that can be easily recalled in the University examinations. There are bullet points, tables, flow charts, diagrams, and innovative ways that aid in grasping the subject fully. There are ultra-short video explanations embedded in the notes; conceptual understanding will become much easier with these explanations. • Neocortex can be the panacea for Physiology, in order to face the University exam with great confidence, as well as your companion for the further studies in medicine.
