520 $aDr. Matthews organizes this introductory text in a unique way; instead of traditional encyclopedic format, there is a subset of topics within neurobiology as a whole. This provides students with a framework that will establish a strong foundation for further learning and instructors with a text that offers an alternative to the traditional way of teaching this complex subject.
520 8 $aThis book emphasizes basic properties of nerve cells and neural circuits and, within each topic, specific examples illustrate fundamentals of nervous system function. Careful thought has been put into the pedagogical features of the book, with the student's needs in mind. Figures and diagrams have been kept simple in an effort to illustrate each particular point as clearly as possible.
520 8 $aBasic coverage of nervous system structure, development and plasticity the organization of sensory and motor systems, and electrical and chemical communication in the nervous system, is included to make this the perfect core undergraduate text for neurobiology.
