Inhaltsangabe

Are you a student of medicine, natural sciences or are you a PhD student doing research on the nervous system?
If you need to obtain a basic understanding of the physiological principles of processing of signals in the nervous system, then this book is the right one for you.

Features

• What structural and functional characteristics do neurons share with other cells in the body and how do they differ from other cells?
• Are glia cells merely a passive component of the nervous system that serves as "glue" or is the spectrum of their functions more extensive?
• How are the different regions of neurons functionally distinct?
• How are stimuli acting on the organism converted into neuronal signals?
• Which chemicals allow neurons to communicate with each other?
• What are the basic principles of signal processing in neural circuits?

The book contains the answer to the above questions. It focuses on the description of the basic structural and functional characteristics of neurons and glia cells as well as the mechanisms of generation, transmission, and processing of signals in the nervous system.
