Cellular Physiology of Nerve and Muscle, Fourth Edition offers a state of the art introduction to the basic physical, electrical and chemical principles central to the function of nerve and muscle cells. The text begins with an overview of the origin of electrical membrane potential, then clearly illustrates the cellular physiology of nerve cells and muscle cells. Throughout, this new edition simplifies difficult concepts with accessible models and straightforward descriptions of experimental results. An all-new introduction to electrical signaling in the nervous system. Expanded coverage of synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity. A quantitative overview of the electrical properties of cells. New detailed illustrations.
Visit the Neurobiology Website at: www.blackwellpublishing.com/matthews As the second edition of a very successful neurobiology book, this text covers a range from molecules to systems, and uses various systems to illustrate each major concept. In addition to the text, this title offers a companion website, which features animations of difficult concepts, online assignments and practice exams, as well as all text figures in an easy to download format. Four colour throughout. New chapter on hypothalamic function with focus on circadian rhythms. More clinical correlation. Improved illustration quality and quantity. Comprehensive text with excellent coverage of subjects from molecules to systems. Use of systems to illustrate each major concept.
The 11th Hour Series of revision guides are designed for quick reference. The organization of these books actively involves students in the learning process and reinforces concepts. At the end of each chapter there is a test including multiple choice questions, true/false questions and short answer questions, and every answer involves an explanation. Each book contains icons in the text indicating additional support on a dedicated web page. Students having difficulties with their courses will find this an excellent way to raise their grades. Clinical correlations or everyday applications include examples from the real world to help students understand key concepts more readily. Dedicated web...
This book is an undergraduate text on the physiology of nerve and muscle cells. It is intended for use in courses on cell, nerve and muscle physiology, neurobiology and human or general physiology. The primary focus is on volume maintenance, the origin of resting and action potentials, synaptic physiology and excitation-contraction coupling.
Neurobiology: Molecules, Cells and Systems is an introduction to basic principles of neural function for undergraduate students. Instead of a broad and necessarily superficial survey of all neurobiology, particular examples have been selected to illustrate functional principles at the cellular, molecular and neural-system levels. The book emphasizes basic properties of nerve cells and neuronal circuits, giving a foundation for further learning.
Anecdotes and the insights gained through study combine to probe the philosophical thought of children and the ways children blend reasoning and curiosity to deal with problems concerning knowledge, value, and existence.
Adult preconceptions about the mental life of children tend to discourage a child’s philosophical bent. By exposing the underpinnings of adult views of childhood, Matthews clears the way for recognizing the philosophy of childhood as a legitimate field of inquiry and conducts us through influential models for understanding what it is to be a child.
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
