Description
Basic Neurochemistry: Principles of Molecular, Cellular, and Medical Neurobiology, the outstanding and comprehensive classic text on
neurochemistry, is now newly updated and revised in its Eighth Edition. For more than forty years, this text has been the worldwide standard
for information on the biochemistry of the nervous system, serving as a resource for postgraduate trainees and teachers in neurology,
psychiatry, and basic neuroscience, as well as for medical, graduate, and postgraduate students and instructors in the neurosciences.
The text has evolved, as intended, with the science. It is also an excellent source of current information on basic biochemical and cellular
processes in brain function and neurological diseases for continuing medical education and qualifying examinations. This text continues
to be the standard reference and textbook for exploring the translational nature of neuroscience, bringing basic and clinical neuroscience
together in one authoritative volume. Our book title reflects the expanded attention to these links between neurochemistry and neurologic
disease.
This new edition continues to cover the basics of neurochemistry as in the earlier editions, along with expanded and
additional coverage of new research from: Intracellular trafficking; Stem cells, adult neurogenesis, regeneration; Lipid
messengers; Expanded coverage of all major neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders; Neurochemistry of addiction; Neurochemistry
of pain; Neurochemistry of hearing and balance; Neurobiology of learning and memory; Sleep; Myelin structure, development,
and disease; Autism; and Neuroimmunology.
Audience:
Advanced undergraduates, graduate students and post-docs in neuroscience or biomedical science, medical students, clinical neuroscientists and neurologists
