Basic Concepts In Neuroscience: A Student's Survival Guide


Overview

This book explains the fundamental principles in neuroscience and focuses on those concepts that students have identified as being most difficult to grasp. Beginning with an overview of the anatomy and cell biology of the nervous system, the text proceeds to neuronal signaling, neurotransmitters, control of activity and movement, memory, and cognition. The level of the material progressively builds from the simple to complex so that students can quickly learn the material and feel comfortable applying it.
