As the renowned text has shown, all behavior is an expression of neural activity and the future of both clinical neurology and psychiatry is dependent on the progress of neural science. Fully updated, this sixth edition of the landmark reference reflects the latest research, clinical perspectives, and advances in the field. It offers an unparalleled perspective on the the current state and future of neural science.u003cbru003e This new edition features:u003cbru003eu003cpu003eu003c/pu003eu003culu003eu003cliu003eUnmatched coverage of how the nerves, brain, and mind functionu003c/liu003eu003cliu003eNEW chapters on: u003cbru003e- The Computational Bases of Neural Circuits that Mediate Behavior u003cbru003e- Brain-Machine Interfaces u003cbru003e- Decision-Making and Consciousnessu003c/liu003eu003cliu003eNEW section on the neuroscientific principles underlying the disorders of the nervous systemu003c/liu003eu003cliu003eExpanded coverage of the different forms of human memoryu003c/liu003eu003cliu003eHighly detailed chapters on stroke, Parkinsons disease, and multiple sclerosisu003c/liu003eu003cliu003e2,200 images, including 300 new color illustrations, diagrams, radiology studies, and PET scansu003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003eu003ciu003ePrinciples of Neural Science, Sixth Editionu003c/iu003e benefits from a cohesive organization, beginning with an insightful overview of the interrelationships between the brain, nervous system, genes, and behavior. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eThe text is divided into nine sections: u003cbru003eu003cbru003ePart I: Overall Perspective provides an overview of the broad themes of neural science, including the basic anatomical organization of the nervous system and the genetic bases of nervous system function and behavior.u003cbru003eu003cbru003ePart II: Cell and Molecular Biology of Cells of the Nervous System examines the basic properties of nerve cells, including the generation and conduction of propagated signaling. u003cbru003eu003cbru003ePart III: Synaptic Transmission focuses on the electrophysiological and molecular mechanism of synaptic transmission with chapters on neuronal excitability, neurotransmitters, and transmitter release. u003cbru003eu003cbru003ePart IV: Perception discusses the various aspects of sensory perception, including how information from the primary organs of sensation is transmitted to and processed by the central nervous system. u003cbru003eu003cbru003ePart V: Movement considers the neural mechanisms underlying movement and examines a new treatment that addresses how the basal ganglia regulate the selection of motor actions and instantiate reinforcement learning. u003cbru003eu003cbru003ePart VI: The Biology of Emotion, Motivation and Homeostasis examines the neural mechanisms by which subcortical areas mediate homeostatic control mechanisms, emotions, and motivation. u003cbru003eu003cbru003ePart VII: Development and the Emergence of Behavior looks at the nervous system from early embryonic differentiation to the formation and elimination of synapses. u003cbru003eu003cbru003ePart VIII: Learning, Memory, Language and Cognition expands on the previous section, examining the cellular mechanisms of implicit and explicit memory storage, as well as decision-making and consciousness. u003cbru003eu003cbru003ePart IX: explores the neural mechanisms underlying diseases and disorders of the nervous system, including autism spectrum disorder, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and anxiety.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003e
