This book represents the most complete and authoritative description on the fine structure of the nervous system available in a single volume. Beginning with background material on the neuron, the book then examines specific portions of the nerve cell, and of the various supporting cells. Structure is first described in a general fashion, followed by detailed coverage of the fine structure of each component, with full discussion of how the structural features relate to their functions. Extensively revised and rewritten, this book will bring readers up to date with the many important developments that have taken place since publication of the previous edition. It includes over 130 electron micrographs and line drawings, many of which are new to this edition.
This text investigates the intricate relationship between the morphological fine structure of the nervous system and its physiological functions. The authors, distinguished experts in neuroanatomy, utilize extensive electron microscopy and detailed histological analysis to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the cellular architecture of the nervous system. By synthesizing structural data with functional implications, the book establishes a baseline for cellular neurobiology that bridges the gap between static observation and dynamic biological activity.
What You Will Find
Experts recognize this volume as a foundational reference for students and researchers in neuroanatomy and cellular biology. Readers frequently note the technical density of the prose and the high quality of the visual documentation provided throughout the text.
