Description
< p> Harvard University Press is proud to announce the second edition of a widely admired introductory textbook. When first published, < i> Neurons and Networks< /i> filled the need for an introductory neuroscience text that is lucid, accessible, authoritative, logically organized, and concise. Avoiding the encyclopedic coverage that makes most neuroscience texts overwhelming, < i> Neurons and Networks< /i> focused instead on building the solid foundation of understanding and knowledge required for further study. < /p> < p> The new edition retains the features that made the first edition so attractive: consistent emphasis on results and concepts that have stood the test of time; abundant high-quality illustrations; exceptionally clear explanations of technical terms. Completely revised and enlarged with six new chapters, the second edition of < i> Neurons and Networks< /i> is an introduction not just to neurobiology, but to all of behavioral neuroscience. It is an ideal text for first- or second-year college students with minimal college science exposure. It is also an invaluable resource for students in biology, psychology, anthropology, and computer science who seek an accessible guide to a discipline that will be a critically important area of research in the twenty-first century. < /p>
