New to this Edition:

  • A new enhanced e-book, which includes self-study questions throughout the text based on learning objectives
  • A new Chapter 17 examines the way by which experience is acquired and stored at single synapses through local and nuclear gene expression and targeted molecular trafficking
  • A new Chapter 18 on extrasynaptic communication explains how release of substances from different regions of neurons changes the way brain circuits work
  • A new Test Bank available to adopters on the companion website

From Neuron to Brain, Sixth Edition, provides a readable, up-to-date book for use in undergraduate, graduate, and medical school courses in neuroscience. As in previous editions, the emphasis is on experiments made by electrical recordings, molecular and cellular biological techniques, and behavioral studies on the nervous system, from simple reflexes to cognitive functions. Lines of research are followed from the inception of an idea to new findings being made in laboratories and clinics today.

From Neuron to Brain will be of interest to anyone--with or without a specialized background in biological sciences--who is curious about the workings of the nervous system.
