5.0 out of 5 stars Good intro to the depth and details of neurosci, April 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Neurons and Networks: An Introduction to Neuroscience (Hardcover)
I've hung on to this book after taking the course (a neurosci course for advanced undergrads and a few grad students). It's attractive because it goes into depth without becoming murky for a beginner. Once you've mastered introductory neurosci topics and want to roll up your sleeves for the details, this is a great book to pick up.

Part One is Cellular Neuroscience, with chapters on cells, synapses, methods of probing the brain, action potentials and their propagation, membrane channels and receptor proteins, etc.

Part Two is Integrative Neuroscience, covering invertbrate nervous systems, rhythmic motor behavior, retinal processing of info, higher levels of visual processing, invertebrate models of memory and learning, etc.

Excellent schematic drawings. Clear explanatory writing.
