The Neuron: Cell and Molecular Biology

Clear and easy-to-read, this modern textbook of cellular and molecular neurobiology deals with synaptic function and plasticity, the reception and transduction of sensory stimuli, neuromodulation, neural networks, and learning and memory, among other topics. Ion channels are discussed in detail. The book is divided into three sections: Electrical Properties of Neurons, Intercellular Communication, and Behavior and Plasticity. The text is intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of neuroscience and medicine.
