Cellular And Molecular Neurobiology. 2nd Edition

Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology assists both students and teachers to view neurobiology from a molecular, cellular and an experimental perspective that makes learning easier and more enjoyable. The second edition of this very successful advanced level textbook has been thoroughly revised and updated. It now has five additional chapters. New topics include the integration of post synaptic responses and the Hippocampal network. Through its novel "building block" approach to teaching and learning, Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology shows how individual ion channels and receptors are integrated, leading to an understanding of how excitable cells function. Key features include: A presentation that is hypothesis driven and firmly based on experiment; A concise but in depth explanation of molecular properties and functions of excitable cells; Over 400 two-colour illustrations; Appendices describing neurobiological techniques. As an invaluable teaching tool, the Delux version of Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology includes a CD-ROM. This features all the illustrations and associated figure legends from the book. These can be browsed and downloaded for projection in lectures. This book can be used with SPATCH, the free interactive electrophysiology virtual lab by Cannon and Hammond at
