For over 40 years, this foundational text has guided learners and clinicians in understanding the profound connection between neural activity and behavior.

The Principles of Neural Science, Sixth Edition, continues to serve as the definitive guide for anyone seeking to understand the human brain and its profound influence on behavior. Fully updated, this edition brings together the most current research, clinical insights, and advances in the field, making it indispensable for professionals in neurology, psychiatry, and neuroscience.

Newly added chapters and sections provide an in-depth look at the future of neural science, while still covering the fundamental processes of how the brain functions and influences behavior. The expanded content includes critical updates on brain-machine interfaces, decision-making, consciousness, and the latest understanding of neurological disorders. With over 2,200 images, including 300 new color illustrations and advanced neuroimaging studies, this edition is more comprehensive than ever.

Features:

  • Unmatched coverage of the neural mechanisms behind brain function, behavior, and mental processes.
  • New chapters on cutting-edge topics such as brain-machine interfaces, decision-making, and consciousness.
  • Expanded coverage of neurological disorders including stroke, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis.
  • 2,200 images including 300 new color illustrations, radiology studies, and PET scans.
  • New section on the neuroscientific principles underlying various disorders of the nervous system.
  • Comprehensive exploration of the connections between the brain, nervous system, genes, and behavior.

This sixth edition is the most thorough and up-to-date version of Principles of Neural Science yet, providing both students and clinicians with an invaluable resource for understanding the intricate workings of the human nervous system.

Part I: Overall Perspective provides an overview of the broad
themes of neural science, including the basic anatomical organization of
the nervous system and the genetic bases of nervous system function and
behavior.Part II: Cell and Molecular Biology of Cells of the
Nervous System examines the basic properties of nerve cells, including
the generation and conduction of propagated signaling. Part III:
Synaptic Transmission focuses on the electrophysiological and molecular
mechanism of synaptic transmission with chapters on neuronal
excitability, neurotransmitters, and transmitter release. Part
IV: Perception discusses the various aspects of sensory perception,
including how information from the primary organs of sensation is
transmitted to and processed by the central nervous system. Part
V: Movement considers the neural mechanisms underlying movement and
examines a new treatment that addresses how the basal ganglia regulate
the selection of motor actions and instantiate reinforcement learning. Part
VI: The Biology of Emotion, Motivation and Homeostasis examines the
neural mechanisms by which subcortical areas mediate homeostatic control
mechanisms, emotions, and motivation. Part VII: Development and
the Emergence of Behavior looks at the nervous system from early
embryonic differentiation to the formation and elimination of synapses. Part
VIII: Learning, Memory, Language and Cognition expands on the previous
section, examining the cellular mechanisms of implicit and explicit
memory storage, as well as decision-making and consciousness. Part
IX: explores the neural mechanisms underlying diseases and disorders of
the nervous system, including autism spectrum disorder, epilepsy,
schizophrenia, and anxiety.
