Features: After the "Decade of the Brain," neurobiology has completely broken through the traditional division and boundaries of disciplines and has developed at an unprecedented speed, with a vast amount of new knowledge and progress. This book addresses the contradiction between excessive teaching content and limited teaching hours for undergraduates, adhering to the principle of being concise and selective, highlighting fundamental theories and basic knowledge without blindly or superficially novelty and quantity. It aims to systematically introduce the basic knowledge of neurobiology while appropriately reflecting the latest developments in the field. The book consists of 12 chapters, including brain cells, fundamentals of electrophysiology, synaptic function, neural coding and neural integration, receptors, neurotransmitters, sensory systems, neural control of movement, neuroendocrinology and neural control of visceral functions, brain and behavior, learning and memory, and neurodevelopment. This book can serve as a required textbook for undergraduate students in neuroscience and mental health, as well as an elective textbook for undergraduate students in medical-related fields. It also provides reference value for teachers engaged in clinical and basic neurosciences, physiology, and biology.
