PDF-(BOOK)-Neurons and Networks: An Introduction to Behavioral Neuroscience, Second Edition

Harvard University Press is proud to announce the second edition of a widely admired introductory textbook When first published Neurons and Networks 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 Neurons and Networks focused instead on building the solid foundation of understanding and knowledge required for further studyThe 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 highquality illustrations exceptionally clear explanations of technical terms Completely revised and enlarged with six new chapters the second edition of Neurons and Networks is an introduction not just to neurobiology but to all of behavioral neuroscience It is an ideal text for first or secondyear 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 twentyfirst century. By Juan Garcia and Candice Markham. The Brain. This chapter addresses the relation of the nervous system to learning and behavior. The focus of the chapter is on the central nervous system (CNS), which comprises the brain and the spinal cord.. Imitation. Meltzoff. & Moore, Science 1977 . Rizzolatti. and the Parma’s group:.
