PDF-(EBOOK)-From Photon to Neuron: Light, Imaging, Vision

A richly illustrated undergraduate textbook on the physics and biology of lightStudents in the physical and life sciences and in engineering need to know about the physics and biology of light Recently it has become increasingly clear that an understanding of the quantum nature of light is essential both for the latest imaging technologies and to advance our knowledge of fundamental life processes such as photosynthesis and human vision From Photon to Neuron provides undergraduates with an accessible introduction to the physics of light and offers a unified view of a broad range of optical and biological phenomena Along the way this richly illustrated textbook builds the necessary background in neuroscience photochemistry and other disciplines with applications to optogenetics superresolution microscopy the singlephoton response of individual photoreceptor cells and moreWith its integrated approach From Photon to Neuron can be used as the basis for interdisciplinary courses in physics biophysics sensory neuroscience biophotonics bioengineering or nanotechnology The goal is always for students to gain the fluency needed to derive every result for themselves so the book includes a wealth of exercises including many that guide students to create computerbased solutions Supplementary online materials include real experimental data to use with the exercisesAssumes familiarity with firstyear undergraduate physics and the corresponding mathOverlaps the goals of the MCAT which now includes databased and statistical reasoningAdvanced chapters and sections also make the book suitable for graduate coursesAn Instructors Guide and illustration package is available to professors. lecture. 4.

Chemistry of Life Processes Institute acts as an umbrella for a variety of centers, facilitates collaborations and helps bridge different cultures. By lowering the barriers to scientific discovery, the Institute hopes, for example, to design new drugs for the treatment of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases as well as develop improved techniques for diagnosing diseases earlier.” . with forward detectors.
