Principles of Neural Science, 6th Edition, is a textbook that examines the fundamental connections between the brain, the nervous system, genes, and behavior. The text explains how cellular signaling, molecular mechanisms, and neural circuits work together to coordinate mental operations and physical actions.
Broad themes address the electrical properties of nerve cells, synaptic transmission, sensory processing, and the neural networks governing movement. The work also explores nervous system development from early embryonic differentiation to synapse elimination, alongside the biological foundations of emotion, homeostasis, and cognition.
To support study of complex cognitive functions, this edition provides expanded coverage of the various forms of human memory, examining cellular mechanisms involved in implicit and explicit memory storage.
