In the 25 years since From Neuron to Brain was first published, the authors' aim has remained constant: to describe how nerve cells go about their business of transmitting signals, how the signals are put together, and how, out of this integration, higher functions emerge. The new Fourth Edition, while maintaining this focus, has been completely reformatted and updated. - Inten...(展开全部)

The entirely rewritten Fifth Edition of From Neuron to Brain describes how nerve cells go about their business of transmitting signals, how the signals are put together, and how, out of this integration, higher functions emerge. This exciting new edition begins with the anatomy and physiology of the visual system.

As the basic building block of the nervous system, a thorough understanding of the neuron is crucial for any level of analysis. This text provides the solid foundation of the morphological, biochemical, and biophysical properties of nerve cells that is needed by advanced undergraduates and graduate students, as well as researchers in need of a thorough reference. * Highly refe...(展开全部)
