DESCRIPTION
Acclaimed for its clear, friendly style, excellent
illustrations, leading author team, and compelling
theme of exploration, Neuroscience: Exploring the
Brain, 4e takes a fresh, contemporary approach
to the study of neuroscience, emphasizing the
biological basis of behavior. The authors’ passion
for the dynamic field of neuroscience is evident on
every page, engaging students and helping them
master the material. In just a few years, the field of
neuroscience has been transformed by exciting new
technologies and an explosion of knowledge about
the brain. The human genome has been sequenced,
sophisticated new methods have been developed for
genetic engineering, and new methods have been
introduced to enable visualization and stimulation of
specific types of nerve cells and connections in the
brain.
