Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Aiming to assist both students and teachers to view neurobiology from a molecular, cellular and an experimental perspective, this second edition has been revised and updated. New topics include the integration of post synaptic responses and the hippocampal network. Through its building block approach to teaching and learning, the text shows how individual ion channels and receptors are integrated, leading to an understanding of how excitable cells function.

Previous ed.: 1996.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
