Description
This textbook of cellular and molecular neurobiology has been thoroughly revised to give an up-to-date picture of the biochemical and physiological properties of nerve cells, the mechanisms that generate and regulate their activity, and their roles in development and adult plasticity. It should be of interest to Cellular Neurobiology Courses.
