This edition of
the popular text incorporates recent advances in neurobiology enabled by modern
molecular biology techniques. Understanding how the brain works from a
molecular level allows research to better understand behaviours, cognition, and
neuropathologies. Since the appearance six years ago of the second edition,
much more has been learned about the molecular biology of development and its
relations with early evolution. This "evodevo" (as it has come to be
known) framework also has a great deal of bearing on our understanding of
neuropathologies as dysfunction of early onset genes can cause
Neurodegeneration in later life. Advances in our understanding of the genomes
and proteomes of a number of organisms also greatly influence our understanding
of neurobiology. Well known and widely used as a text throughout the UK, good
reviews from students and lecturers. Good complement to Fundamentals of
Psychopharmacology by Brian Leonard. This book will be of particular interest
to biomedical undergraduates undertaking a neuroscience unit, neuroscience
postgraduates, physiologists, pharmacologists. It is also a useful basic
reference for university libraries.
