Molecular and Cellular Physiology of Neurons, Second Edition

If we are to understand the brain, we must understand how the individual molecules and cells of the nervous system function and ultimately contribute to our behavior. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of what we now know and what we want to know and can reasonably expect to discover in the near future about the functioning of the brain at the level of molecules and cells. This book takes readers from the fundamentals to the most sophisticated concepts and latest discoveries: from membrane potentials to recent experiments on voltage-gated ion channels, from descriptions of receptors, G proteins, effector molecules, and second messengers to an account of our current understanding of long-term potentiation. Each chapter discusses individual experiments that have made crucial contributions to our knowledge and that illustrate the techniques and approaches that have formed our present view of nerve cell function.
