Description
An understanding of the nervous system at virtually any level of analysis requires an understanding of its basic building block, the neuron.
This book provides the solid foundation of the morphological, biochemical, and biophysical properties of nerve cells. All chapters have
been thoroughly revised for this second edition to reflect the significant advances of the past five years. The new edition expands on
the network aspects of cellular neurobiology by adding a new chapter, Information Processing in Neural Networks, and on the relation
of cell biological processes to various neurological diseases. The new concluding chapter illustrates how the great strides in understanding
the biochemical and biophysical properties of nerve cells have led to fundamental insights into important aspects of neurodegenerative
disease.
Audience
Graduate and upper undergraduate students Neuroscience, Physiology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Pharmacology, Psychology, Biochemistry.
