The third edition of this popular text incorporates recent advances in neurobiology enabled by modern molecular biology techniques. Readers gain a better understanding of how the brain works from a molecular level, allowing them to better understand behaviors, cognition, and neuropathologies. Since the appearance six years ago of the Second Edition, much more has been learned about the molecular biology of development and its relations with early evolution. New material discussed in this comprehensive reference includes genomics, ion channels, neural stem cells, gap junctions, channelopathies,…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
The third edition of this popular text incorporates recent advances in neurobiology enabled by modern molecular biology techniques. Readers gain a better understanding of how the brain works from a molecular level, allowing them to better understand behaviors, cognition, and neuropathologies. Since the appearance six years ago of the Second Edition, much more has been learned about the molecular biology of development and its relations with early evolution. New material discussed in this comprehensive reference includes genomics, ion channels, neural stem cells, gap junctions, channelopathies, cannabinoids, DNA-chips, manipulation of K+-channels, molecular bases of memory, motor neuron disease (MND), Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and much more.
This edition of the popular text incorporates recent advances in neurobiology enabled by modern molecular biology techniques. Understanding how the brain works from a molecular level allows research to better understand behaviours, cognition, and neuropathologies. Since the appearance six years ago of the 2e, much more has been learned about the molecular biology of development and its relations with early evolution. This "evodevo" (as it has come to be known) framework also has a great deal of bearing on our understanding of neuropathologies as dysfunction of early onset genes can cause neurodegeneration in later life. Advances in our understanding of the genomes and proteomes of a number of organisms also greatly influence our understanding of neurobiology.
_ Well known and widely used as a text throughout the UK, good reviews from students and lecturers.
_ Good complement to Fundementals of Psychopharmacology by Brian Leonard
This book will be of particular interest to biomedical undergraduates undertaking a neuroscience unit, neuroscience postgraduates, physiologists, pharmacologists.
It is also a useful basic reference for university libraries.

Maurice Elphick, Queen Mary, University of London
"I do like this book and it is the recommended textbook for my course in Molecular Neuroscience. The major strength of the book is the overall simplicity of the format both in terms of layout and diagrams."
