About this book
Principles of Neural Science 6th Edition PDF by Eric R Kandel, John D Koester, Sarah H Mack and Steven A Siegelbaum is offered here as a PDF eBook. Principles of Neural Science examines how nervous-system activity relates to behavior and the mind. The sixth edition progresses from genes, cells and synaptic signaling to larger neural systems. Sensory perception and the organization of neural circuits connect cellular mechanisms with complex functions. Expanded memory coverage helps readers explore how experience is represented in the brain. Computational approaches, brain-machine interfaces and decision-making are among the edition’s additional topics. Discussions of neurological disorders connect foundational neuroscience with clinical perspectives. It is a substantial resource for readers who want to study neuroscience across molecular, cellular, systems and behavioral levels.
Neural Mechanisms and Brain Function in the 6th Edition
Principles of Neural Science connects the cellular properties of neurons with perception, movement, behavior and higher brain function. The sixth edition gives readers a scientific framework for moving between synapses, neural circuits and the functions those circuits support.
Subjects Covered
- Neuronal signaling
- Synaptic transmission
- Sensory systems
- Motor control
- Learning and memory
Using Principles of Neural Science for Study and Reference
Choose a function or behavior for study and identify the level of explanation being considered: cellular, circuit or wider system. Review the relevant scientific background, then connect the levels in a short explanatory outline. Keeping the evidence and the proposed mechanism distinct can help when reading research or preparing a seminar. A comparison with a related function may also clarify what is shared and what differs. Use the textbook to establish foundations alongside the articles and course materials assigned for your level of neuroscience study.
Trace a behavior or neurological function from its neural circuitry back to the cellular mechanisms that support it. Use the text alongside the reading list or training materials for your course or specialty, and check that the edition corresponds to your requirements.
