From Molecules to Networks: An Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience

Rating:
Summary: A most welcome addition to neuroscience reference shelves
Review: Collaboratively compiled and edited by biologists and academicians John H. Byrne and James L. Roberts, From Molecules To Networks: An Introduction To Cellular And Molecular Neuroscience is a superbly organized and presented college-level instructional text presupposing a heavy mathematic and scientific background as it meticulously instructs the reader concerning cellular components of nervous tissue, brain energy metabolism, molecular properties of ion channels, and more. Each instructional chapter is written and presented by a different specialist or specialists in the specific field. Some diagrams intersperse the largely nuts-and-bolts information of this straightforward and through textbook, recommended especially for cellular and molecular neuroscience students and professionals whose careers directly correspond to this vibrant field. From Molecules To Networks is a most welcome addition to neuroscience reference shelves, which comes nicely enhanced with an accompanying CD-ROM that includes all the various illustrations and diagrams.
