From Neuron to Brain, Sixth Edition, provides a readable, up-to-date book for use in undergraduate, graduate, and medical school courses in neuroscience. As in previous editions, the emphasis is on experiments made by electrical recordings, molecular and cellular biological techniques, and behavioral studies on the nervous system, from simple reflexes to cognitive functions. Lines of research are followed from the inception of an idea to new findings being made in laboratories and clinics today.

From Neuron to Brain will be of interest to anyone--with or without a specialized background in biological sciences--who is curious about the workings of the nervous system.

A. Robert Martin is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Physiology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. David A. Brown is Professor of Pharmacology in the Department of Neuroscience, Physiology, and Pharmacology at University College London. Mathew E. Diamond is Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste (SISSA). Antonio Cattaneo is Professor of Physiology at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. Francisco F. De-Miguel is Professor of Neuroscience at the Instituto de Fisiología Celular-Neurociencias of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico (UNAM).
