Features: This book is based on the biological unit of neurons, exploring at the cellular and molecular levels. It systematically introduces the gene transcription regulation of neurons, the regulation of genetic information expression, the subcellular structure and function of neurons, membrane receptors, neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, resting membrane potential and action potential, synaptic potential and synaptic integration, neuronal communication, as well as second and third messenger systems. It covers 17 chapters, including topics such as the genetics and development of sensory and nervous systems, neuronal migration, the growth and formation of neuronal processes, and synaptic plasticity related to learning and memory. Each chapter includes a sidebar that provides brief introductions to cutting-edge research hotspots, achievements, and the historical development of classic theories in neuroscience. This book is a teaching resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, with strong systematic content that reflects the latest research findings in the field. It is suitable for students and researchers in biology, medicine, agriculture and forestry sciences, as well as middle school biology teachers for reference.
