Description
Acclaimed for its clear, friendly style, excellent illustrations, leading
author team, and compelling theme of exploration, Neuroscience: Exploring the
Brain, 4e takes a fresh, contemporary approach to the study of neuroscience,
emphasizing the biological basis of behavior. The authors’ passion for
the dynamic field of neuroscience is evident on every page, engaging students
and helping them master the material.
In just a few years, the field of neuroscience has been transformed by exciting
new technologies and an explosion of knowledge about the brain. The human genome
has been sequenced, sophisticated new methods have been developed for genetic
engineering, and new methods have been introduced to enable visualization and
stimulation of specific types of nerve cells and connections in the brain. The
new Fourth Edition has been fully updated to reflect these and other rapid advances
in the field, while honoring its commitment to be student-friendly with striking
new illustrations, additional animations, and an unparalleled array of online
resources.
