Features: This book takes the neural mechanisms of behavior as its main thread, highlighting the relationship between neurobiology and medicine, aiming to promote their integration. In terms of content structure, it reduces the theoretical content of cellular and molecular biology while increasing the application outcomes centered on behavioral neural mechanisms. It breaks away from the traditional system-based writing approach, organizing related content in the sensory and motor systems around behavioral activities (such as reflex behavior, voluntary behavior, cognitive behavior, and conscious behavior) to enhance readability and engagement. The book consists of 13 chapters, covering neurons and receptors, neural modulation and plasticity in simple behaviors, as well as brain modulation and plasticity in complex and refined behaviors. It serves as a textbook for undergraduate students in relevant disciplines of medical and pharmaceutical institutions, while also serving as a reference for graduate students, teachers, and clinical physicians.
