Neurosciences - From Molecule to Behavior: a university textbook
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-642-10768-9 (ISBN)
This textbook covers neuroscience from cellular and molecular mechanisms to behavior and cognitive processing. We also address evolution of the nervous system, computational neuroscience, the history of neuroscience as a discipline and neurophilosophy - to name but a few. The book provides the newest state-of-the-art knowledge about neuroscience from across the animal kingdom, with particular emphasis on model species commonly used in neuroscience labs across the world: mouse, zebra fish, fruit fly, honeybee, and nematode worm. We aim at university students of neuroscience, psychology, biological sciences, and medical sciences, but also computer scientists, philosophers, or anybody interested in understanding how brains work.
Giovanni Galizia is Professor for Zoology and Neurobiology at the University of Konstanz and Director of the Zukunftskolleg at the University of Konstanz.Pierre-Marie Lledo is director of the Perception and Memory Laboratory at the Institut Pasteur in Paris.
