This comprehensive text introduces graduate students to the full range of neuroscience, from biochemical, to cognitive, and clinical science, and covers Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Nervous System Development, Sensory Systems, Motor Systems, Regulatory Systems, and Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience. The organization of the information is transparent, easy to teach from, and follows the way that the neuroscience curriculum is generally taught. For example, the opening chapter covers neuroanatomy, which is foundational for much of neuroscience. The organization also corresponds to the specialty areas that active neuroscientists will identify themselves with (e.g., developmental neuroscience, molecular neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience). While the book does not have a clinical focus, it does cover a wide range of disorders. This material is featured in compact, clinical text boxes distributed throughout the chapters, more directly linking the disorders to the fundamental structures and functions of the nervous system. Squires treatment is intended to assist the reader in establishing the connection between the basic biology and the neurological symptoms and syndromes. It places more emphasis on the science with less emphasis on clinical concepts. The third edition contains 30% new material including a new chapter on Dendritic Development. Addressing professor/lecturers feedback on their needs, this edition includes a companion website which will feature figures, video clips and animated diagrams. * New coverage on Dendritic Development and Spine Morphogenesis, and Executive Thought and Control to Consciousness * Chapters updated with 30% new material * Companion website with figures, additional references, videos and animated diagrams * Index to be extensively expanded by over 400% with hundreds more key words for easy searching
