To grasp the wider implications of these developments and gain a fundamental understanding of this dynamic, fast-moving field, Principles of Neuroscience stands alone as the most authoritative and indispensible resource of its kind.

In this classic text, prominent researchers in the field expertly survey the entire spectrum of neural science, giving an up-to-date, unparalleled view of the discipline for anyone who studies brain and mind. Here, in one remarkable volume, is the current state of neural science knowledge ranging from molecules and cells, to anatomic structures and systems, to the senses and cognitive functions all supported by more than 900 precise, full-color illustrations. In addition to clarifying complex topics, the app also benefits from a cohesive organization, beginning with an insightful overview of the interrelationships between the brain, nervous system, genes, and behavior. Principles of Neural Science then proceeds with an in-depth examination of the molecular and cellular biology of nerve cells, synaptic transmission, and the neural basis of cognition.

FEATURES

- The cornerstone reference in the field of neuroscience that explains how the nerves, brain, and mind function

- Clear emphasis on how behavior can be examined through the electrical activity of both individual neurons and systems of nerve cells

- Current focus on molecular biology as a tool for probing the pathogenesis of many neurological diseases, including muscular dystrophy, Huntington disease, and certain forms of Alzheimerís disease

- More than 900 engaging full-color illustrations including line drawings, radiographs, micrographs, and medical photographs clarify often-complex neuroscience concepts

- Outstanding section on the development and emergence of behavior including important coverage of brain damage repair the sexual differentiation of the nervous system and the aging brain

NEW TO THIS EDITION

- More detailed discussions of cognitive and behavioral functions and an expanded review of cognitive processes

- A focus on the increasing importance of computational neural science which enhances our ability to record the brainís electrical activity and study cognitive processes more directly

- Chapter-opening Key Concepts provide a convenient study-enhancing introduction to the material covered in each chapter Selected Readings and full reference citations at the close of each chapter facilitate further study and research

Introduction

Principles of Neural Science is a comprehensive textbook that provides an in-depth overview of the field of neuroscience. The book is divided into six sections:

* Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience

* Sensory Systems

* Motor Systems

* Behavioral Neuroscience

* Cognitive Neuroscience

* Clinical Neuroscience

Each section covers a wide range of topics, from the basic principles of neural function to the latest advances in research. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and researchers.

Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience

The first section of the book covers the basic principles of cellular and molecular neuroscience. This section includes chapters on the structure and function of neurons, the electrical and chemical properties of neurons, and the molecular mechanisms of synaptic transmission.

Sensory Systems

The second section of the book covers the sensory systems. This section includes chapters on the visual system, the auditory system, the somatosensory system, and the chemical senses. Each chapter provides a detailed overview of the structure and function of the sensory system, as well as the neural mechanisms that underlie sensory perception.

Motor Systems

The third section of the book covers the motor systems. This section includes chapters on the spinal cord, the brainstem, and the cerebellum. Each chapter provides a detailed overview of the structure and function of the motor system, as well as the neural mechanisms that underlie motor control.

Behavioral Neuroscience

The fourth section of the book covers behavioral neuroscience. This section includes chapters on learning and memory, motivation and emotion, and social behavior. Each chapter provides a detailed overview of the neural mechanisms that underlie these behaviors.

Cognitive Neuroscience

The fifth section of the book covers cognitive neuroscience. This section includes chapters on attention, language, and memory. Each chapter provides a detailed overview of the neural mechanisms that underlie these cognitive processes.

Clinical Neuroscience

The sixth section of the book covers clinical neuroscience. This section includes chapters on neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric disorders, and neurological disorders. Each chapter provides a detailed overview of the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of these disorders.

Conclusion

Principles of Neural Science is a comprehensive textbook that provides an in-depth overview of the field of neuroscience. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and researchers.
