内容説明

This neurobiology text caters for students from diverse academic backgrounds. Covering all the main areas of vertebrate and invertibrate neurobiology, the author gives user-friendly descriptions of experiments to illustrate principles, supported by real experimental data. He reveals how neuroscience works and how neuroscientists investigate the world by combining surgery, electrophysiology, histochemistry and immunology.

内容説明

Foundations of Neurobiology is the first book on the subject conceived and written exclusively for undergraduate biology students--a concise, principles-oriented text that spans the entire field of neurobiology from molecules to the mind. With only general biology as a prerequisite, the book takes a broad, conceptual, comparative approach, introducing the principles of vertebrate and invertebrate neural function in all sensory systems.
