CiNii 図書 - Neurobiology : a functional approach

Focusing on the problems that brains help organisms solve, Neurobiology: A Functional Approach asks not only how the nervous system works but also why it works as it does. This text introduces readers to neurobiology through an evolutionary, organismal, and experimental perspective. With a strong emphasis on neural circuits and systems, it bridges the gap between the cellular and molecular end and the cognitive end of the neuroscience spectrum, allowing students to grasp the full breadth of the subject. Neurobiology covers not only what neuroscientists have learned about the brain in terms of facts and ideas, but also how they have learned it through key experiments.

The end of every chapter contains a Summary, Key Terms, and Additional Readings. Preface About the Author Chapter 1 - Nervous System Organization 1.1 How Do Neuroscientists Study the Brain?
