John G. Nicholls Knihy

Základní neurologická učebnice integruje moderní poznatky o nervových buňkách a o způsobech, jakými jsou organizovány do funkčních obvodů a nervových systémů, zprostředkujících chování živočichů. Určeno pro studenty medicíny, neurology a neurofyziology, farmakology, biofyziky a další odborníky zajímající se o studium neurověd. přeložil Zdeněk Žáček.

Up-to-date third edition which presents a coherent description of the nervous system from the perspective of modern work on molecular biology, cellular and developmental biology, biophysics, neurophysiology, neurochemistry and neuroanatomy.

From Neuron to Brain , Sixth Edition, provides a readable, up-to-date book for use in undergraduate, graduate, and medical school courses in neuroscience. As in previous editions, the emphasis is on experiments made by electrical recordings, molecular and cellular biological techniques, and behavioral studies on the nervous system, from simple reflexes to cognitive functions. Lines of research are followed from the inception of an idea to new findings being made in laboratories and clinics today.From Neuron to Brain will be of interest to anyone--with or without a specialized background in biological sciences--who is curious about the workings of the nervous system.

In the 25 years since its initial publication, the authors have consistently aimed to explain how nerve cells transmit signals, integrate them, and give rise to higher functions. The new Fourth Edition retains this focus but has been completely reformatted and updated. Emphasizing experiments and their execution, the authors narrate the journey from the inception of ideas to current research. The challenge of incorporating a wealth of new facts, techniques, and concepts has led to the omission of some classical experiments. Responding to reader feedback, the format has been enhanced with more headings, shorter paragraphs, and clarified full-color illustrations. As in previous editions, references are cited throughout, and appendices are included to assist readers unfamiliar with the nervous system. This edition is designed for upper-level undergraduate, graduate, psychology, and medical school Neuroscience courses, appealing to anyone interested in the nervous system, regardless of their background in biological sciences. It offers a coherent and accessible account of how cellular and molecular approaches can illuminate brain function.
