Opis

"This book systematically explores the details of neuronal physiology, covering membrane biophysics, receptor physiology, sensory transduction and synaptic transmission with its selective pharmacology. Undergraduates will be fully equipped to understand the functions and possibilities of the key units of the brain's parallel computations"--
