Features: Neuroscience is one of the fastest-growing branches of biomedical sciences in the 1990s, hence the last decade of the 20th century was known as the "Decade of the Brain." To understand the complexities of human behavior and thought, one must seek answers through studying the structure and function of the brain. Meanwhile, the development of molecular biology techniques has paved the way for neuroscience research to delve into the molecular and genetic levels. To promote the advancement of neuroscience in China, Professor Han Jisheng of the Institute of Neuroscience at Peking University gathered over 80 renowned neuroscientists from China and abroad to collectively write this book. It comprises X chapters, covering basic methodologies and aiming to provide multidisciplinary, multi-level explanations and analyses of both normal neural functions and abnormal changes during diseases. The book features up-to-date content and fluent writing, making it a valuable reference for clinical physicians and basic researchers involved in neuroscience, as well as an indispensable textbook for university students and graduate students.
