- Summary
- Molecular Neuroscience takes an interesting and original approach to explaining the present and future impact of molecular biology on the study of neuroscience. It provides the reader with a level of understanding which will allow them to delve deeper into the ever expanding neuroscience literature. A good balance is achieved between a didactic style and well-selected examples of experimental approaches. This book is written for 2nd and 3rd year life science undergraduates and MSc students on a range of courses. Medical students and researchers requiring a concise introduction to neuroscience, particularly the latest molecular approaches, will also find it essential.
