Index
This approachable volume guides students through the challenges and excitement - as well as the uncertainties - of neuroscience. Comprehensive and authoritative, this textbook provides a balance of animal and human studies to discuss the dynamic field of neuroscience from cellular signaling to cognitive function.
Special Features
- Accessible - the text's length and writing style are a successful combination that has proven to work equally well for medical students and undergraduate neuroscience courses.
- Exceptional figures and visual program illustrate complex biological processes.
- Feature boxes throughout highlight key concepts.
New to this Edition
- Three new chapters on Attention (Ch. 29), Decision Making (Ch. 32), and Evolution of Cognitive Functions (Ch. 34) in a newly expanded Cognitive Neuroscience unit (Unit 5).
- Clinical Applications boxes show students how key concepts are applied in the field.
- Web Essays feature - available on the Companion Website - explore novel or historical topics in more depth.
- Fully updated section on neural signaling reflects recent developments in the field.
- Newly reorganized to enhance continuity of topic coverage.
