Description
From Neuron to Brain, Sixth Edition, provides a readable, up-to-date book for use in undergraduate, graduate, and medical school courses in neuroscience. As in previous editions, the emphasis is on experiments made by electrical recordings, molecular and cellular biological techniques, and behavioral studies on the nervous system, from simple reflexes to cognitive functions. Lines of research are followed from the inception of an idea to new findings being made in laboratories and clinics today. From Neuron to Brain will be of interest to anyone--with or without a specialized background in biological sciences--who is curious about the workings of the nervous system.

Reviews
From Neuron to Brain provides the best available coverage of topics for my course, in a format and level of detail that is appropriate for advanced undergraduates. * Stephen Meriney, University of Pittsburgh *
From Neuron to Brain contextualizes neuroscience through experimental findings. It allows students to explore neuroscience through the rich stories of experimental discovery * which is a much richer and more fulfilling way to be introduced to the field.J. David Spafford, University of Waterloo *
"Many textbooks are a catalog of discovered facts. From Neuron to Brain contextualizes neuroscience through experimental findings. Students explore neuroscience through the rich stories of experimental discovery. It is a much richer and fulfilling way to be introduced to the field." - J. David Spafford, University of Waterloo
"I like using From Neuron to Brain for this introductory neurobiology course, because it covers many topics of my course very well, especially the basic principles of electrical and chemical signaling along with the corresponding techniques. It is a reasonable length and is not as large as Principles of Neural Science by Kandel et al." - Daniel M. Suter, Purdue University
