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
