Neurons are arguably the most complex of all cells. From the action of these cells comes movement, thought and consciousness. In the six years since the first edition of Molecular Biology of the Neuron there has been an explosion in the molecular information about neurons that has been discovered, and this information is incorporated into this second edition. Written by leading researchers in the field, the book provides an essential overview of the molecular structure and function of neurons, and will be an invaluable tool to students and researchers alike.
This text investigates the complex molecular mechanisms that underpin neuronal structure and function, serving as a comprehensive update to the field's rapidly evolving knowledge base. Written by leading researchers, the book synthesizes recent discoveries in molecular neurobiology to explain how these cells facilitate movement, thought, and consciousness. It provides a structured framework for understanding the biochemical processes that define the most complex cells in the human body.
What You Will Find
Experts and academics recognize this volume as a foundational resource for those seeking a rigorous understanding of neuronal molecular biology. Readers frequently note the technical density of the prose, which is tailored for individuals with a background in biological sciences.
