Neuroscience, Sixth Edition edited by Dale Purves, George J. Augustine, David Fitzpatrick, William C. Hall, and colleagues is the most widely used and respected neuroscience textbook in the world — the comprehensive, authoritative resource that provides medical students, neuroscience graduate students, and undergraduate neuroscience majors with a rigorous yet accessible treatment of the dynamic field of neuroscience from cellular signaling to cognitive function. Published by Sinauer Associates (an imprint of Oxford University Press).
This comprehensive textbook achieves a sophisticated balance of animal and human studies to illuminate the full breadth of modern neuroscience — from the molecular and cellular mechanisms of neural signaling to the systems-level organization of sensory, motor, and cognitive functions. The book's accessible writing style and length make it suitable for both medical students in neuroscience coursework and undergraduate neuroscience courses at research universities.
Each new copy of the Sixth Edition includes a one-year subscription to Sylvius 4 Online — a unique digital atlas and dissection guide to the human central nervous system that allows students to explore the brain's structure in an interactive, three-dimensional environment. This powerful digital supplement significantly enhances the learning experience for students studying neuroanatomy and brain systems.
Key topics include: neurons and glial cells, electrical signals of nerve cells, synaptic transmission, neurotransmitter systems, sensory systems (vision, audition, somatosensation, taste, olfaction), motor systems, the visceral motor system, regulatory systems, memory and the brain, and the developing nervous system. The definitive neuroscience text for medical education, graduate neuroscience programs, and advanced undergraduate courses in behavioral neuroscience and cognitive science.
