ISBN: 0878934391
Recommended Retail Price: $99.95
In the 25 years since From Neuron to Brain was first published, the authors' aim has remained constant—to describe how nerve cells go about their business of transmitting signals, how the signals are put together, and how, out of this integration, higher functions emerge. The new Fourth Edition, while maintaining this ...

The Neuron: Cell and Molecular Biology
Author: Irwin B. Levitan Ph.D., Leonard K. Kaczmarek Ph.D.
ISBN: 0195145232
Recommended Retail Price: $69.95
The third edition of The Neuron provides a comprehensive first course in the cell and molecular biology of nerve cells. The first part of the book covers the properties of the many newly discovered ion channels that have emerged through mapping of the genome. These channels shape the way a single neuron generates varie...

Biophysics of Computation: Information Processing in Single Neurons (Computational Neuroscience)
Author: Christof Koch
ISBN: 0195181999
Recommended Retail Price: $69.99
Neural network research often builds on the fiction that neurons are simple linear threshold units, completely neglecting the highly dynamic and complex nature of synapses, dendrites, and voltage-dependent ionic currents. Biophysics of Computation: Information Processing in Single Neurons challenges this noti...
Spiking Neuron Models
Author: Wulfram Gerstner, Werner M. Kistler
ISBN: 0521890799
