This 4th edition of this text on the physiology of excitable cells has been extensively revised and restructured to take account of the many recent advances in this field. It is aimed at students of physiology, neuroscience and cell biology.
The development of a brain from its simple beginnings in the embryo to the extraordinarily complex fully-functional adult structure is a truly remarkable process. Understanding how it occurs remains a formidable challenge despite enormous advances over the last century and curre…
"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 Sin…
