: Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and medical students in neuroscience or biomedical programs.
: The book is known for containing over 400 high-quality, full-color figures that illustrate complex molecular pathways. Target Audience
The text serves as a primary resource for several groups within the scientific and medical communities:
: Extensive coverage is given to intercellular signaling (neurotransmitters like glutamate and histamine), intracellular signaling cascades, and the genetic expression that drives neural development and plasticity.
The text is designed to bridge the gap between basic biochemical research and clinical medical neuroscience. It is generally organized into logical sections that reflect the increasing complexity of the nervous system:
: Later sections focus on clinical applications, exploring the molecular basis of neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis), neuroimmunology, and the neurochemistry of addiction and pain. Key Features of Recent Editions
