Third Edition
By
Constance Hammond, Directeur de Recherches, INMED U29 INSERM, Marseille, France
Description
This third edition is the new, thoroughly revised edition of the only current, established and authoritative text focusing on the cellular
and molecular physiology of nerve cells. Previously titled Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology, the new title better reflects
this focus. The book is hypothesis driven rather than just presenting the facts, and the content is firmly based on numerous experiments
performed by the top experts in the field. While the book does cover the important facts, it also presents the background for how researchers
arrived at this knowledge to provide a context for the field. It teaches not only how excitable cells work in detail, but also how to
construct and conduct intelligent research experiments. This book promotes a real understanding of the function of nerve cells that is
useful for practicing neurophysiologists and students in a graduate-level course on the topic alike.
Audience
Neurophysiologists, neurobiologists, neurologists, as well as graduate-level courses on neurophysiology.
