About this book
Neuroscience 7th Edition PDF edited by George J. Augustine, Jennifer M. Groh, Scott A. Huettel, Anthony-Samuel LaMantia, and Leonard E. White is offered here as a PDF eBook. The seventh edition bridges undergraduate neuroscience and medical-school study by moving from cellular signaling and synaptic transmission through sensory systems, motor control, development, homeostasis, emotion, learning, memory and higher cognitive function. Animal, human and clinical studies are integrated to show how experimental evidence builds explanations of nervous-system function. Clear learning objectives and concise sections help students connect molecular and cellular mechanisms with systems and behavior. The book is especially useful for neuroscience, biology, psychology and medical students who need a comprehensive but accessible foundation spanning the full field from neurons to cognition.
Designed for undergraduate neuroscience students and medical students, this edition provides a structured resource for understanding how cellular mechanisms and neural circuits support sensation, movement, and behavior.
This listing is for the 7th edition of Neuroscience. Check the title, edition, authors/editors, and other product information before ordering if you need the book for a particular course, syllabus, examination, or professional reference.
About the Seventh Edition of Neuroscience
Neuroscience develops the subject from the electrical and molecular behavior of neurons to the systems that support perception, movement, and complex thought. Five major units cover neural signaling, sensory processing, motor control, the changing brain, and cognitive neuroscience. Sensory chapters examine vision, hearing, balance, touch, pain, smell, and taste, while motor chapters consider spinal and brainstem circuits, basal ganglia, cerebellum, and visceral control. Developmental material follows the formation and modification of neural circuits. The seventh edition balances animal, human, and clinical studies and adds learning objectives and more concise sections. Its breadth provides a bridge between undergraduate neuroscience and foundational medical study.
From Neural Signals to Complex Brain Functions
The 7th edition covers the following areas:
- Neural signaling: Study membrane properties, ion channels, synapses, and neurotransmitters.
- Synaptic plasticity: Examine changes in communication between neurons.
- Sensory processing: Explore vision, hearing, vestibular function, touch, pain, olfaction, and taste.
- Motor control: Consider lower and upper motor neurons, basal ganglia, and cerebellum.
- Brain development: Follow circuit construction and experience-dependent plasticity.
- Repair and regeneration: Explore responses to nervous-system injury.
- Cognitive neuroscience: Study attention, memory, language, emotion, planning, and decision making.
Building a Framework Across Levels of Neuroscience
The text is useful when students need to connect mechanisms studied at different scales. Neural signaling explains how individual cells communicate, while sensory and motor units show how those interactions contribute to organized systems. Developmental coverage adds a time dimension by examining how circuits form and change. The cognitive chapters then extend this framework to functions such as attention, memory, language, and decision making. This progression supports courses that combine cellular neuroscience with systems and behavior, rather than treating them as unrelated subjects. The balance of experimental and clinical perspectives also helps medical learners place foundational mechanisms within a broader understanding of nervous-system function.
