Neurobiology: Molecules, Cells and Systems is an introduction to basic principles of neural function for undergraduate students. Instead of a broad and necessarily superficial survey of all neurobiology, particular examples have been selected to illustrate functional principles at the cellular, molecular and neural-system levels. The book emphasizes basic properties of nerve cells and neuronal circuits, giving a foundation for further learning.
