Based on the experiments performed by experts in the field, this title presents research data on dendritic processing. It offers an explanation of molecular properties and functions of excitable cells. It features over 400 two-colour illustrations, as well as appendices describing neurobiological techniques.

This Second Edition, is the new, thoroughly revised edition of the established and well-respected authoritative text in the field. "Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology" is hypothesis driven and firmly based on numerous experiments performed by experts in the field. Seven new chapters (five new and two totally rewritten) complement and expand on the first edition and are written in a way that encourages students to ask questions. Additionally, new, groundbreaking research data on dendritic processing is presented in a very easy-to-understand format. It offers a concise but in depth explanation of molecular properties and functions of excitable cells. It has over 400 two-colour illustrations. There are appendices describing neurobiological techniques.
