Leading authorities have joined together to provide accounts of the best understood brain regions. Each contributor uses the same format in covering the neural elements, synaptic connections, basic circuits, physiology, pharmacology, dendritic properties and functional implications of brain structures, so that readers can easily recognize common principles and specific adaptations. A new chapter on the cochlear nucleus highlights the neural basis of audition, and supplements the analyses of vision in the retina, lateral geniculate and visual cortex, and of olfaction in the olfactory bulb and cortex. Chapters on the spinal cord, cerebellum and basal ganglia provide insight into the neural basis of sensorimotor integration. The material on the hippocampus is a new synthesis of the anatomy and physiology related to learning and memory. The book is intended for undergraduates and graduates in neurobiology; researchers in all fields of neurobiology; clinical neurologists; and biomedical engineers.
About the editor Gordon M. Shepherd, M.D., D. Phil., is Professor of Neuroscience at Yale University School of Medicine. His other books include Neurobiology (3rd ed., 1994) and Foundations of the Neuron Doctrine (1991).
