Molecular and Cellular Physiology of Neurons

Rating:
Summary: I LOVE this book!
Review: Dr. Fain rocks! He explains things so clearly that even though this text is intended for advanced undergrads or beginning grad students, it can be understood by most people who have taken just one semester of introductory neurobiology. There is so much good stuff in this book that I consult it very often, even though I am a pretty experienced neurophysiologist and "am suppposed" not to need this book any more.

However, if you haven't taken an introductory neuroscience course and need a more basic text, then I highly recommend "The Neuron: Cell and Molecular Biology" by Irwin Levitan and Leonard Kaczmarek. After that, if you want to know more about neurophysiology, read the Fain book.
