Oxford Insight: Neuroscience, 7th Edition is a comprehensive textbook structured for students and professors across neuroscience and behavioral neuroscience courses. The text offers structured academic support for examining the structural, physiological, and functional properties of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
The thematic progression begins with cellular biophysics, covering electrical signaling, ion channels, neurotransmitters, and synaptic plasticity. It advances into sensory processing across visual, auditory, vestibular, somatosensory, and chemical modalities, followed by motor control pathways involving lower motor neurons, upper motor neurons, the basal ganglia, and the cerebellum. Subsequent sections detail neural circuit development, experience-dependent plasticity, sex differences, and central nervous system repair.
The final chapters address complex cortical functions, including attention, memory, language, emotion, and executive decision-making. Edited by George J. Augustine, Jennifer M. Groh, Scott A. Huettel, Anthony-Samuel LaMantia, Leonard E. White, and Emeritus Editor Dale Purves, the text provides dedicated support for introductory and specialized university instruction.
