Molecular Biology of the Neuron

Neurons are arguably the most complex of all cells. From the action of these cells comes movement, thought and consciousness. In the six years since the first edition of Molecular Biology of the Neuron there has been an explosion in the molecular information about neurons that has been discovered, and this information is incorporated into this second edition. Written by leading researchers in the field, the book provides an essential overview of the molecular structure and function of neurons, and will be an invaluable tool to students and researchers alike.
