Features: Neurons (nerve cells) are the cornerstone of the nervous system. A thorough and in-depth understanding of all aspects of neurons is essential for analyzing the nervous system at various levels. This book discusses the fundamental knowledge of the morphology, biochemistry, and biophysics of neurons, meeting the needs of university students, graduate students, and researchers in related fields. Eric R. Kandel, the 2000 Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine, highly praises this book: "With its unique and innovative exposition of neurophysiology, this book fills a much-needed gap. The writing is clear, especially the illustrations, which are meticulously designed and beautifully illustrated. Each chapter is written by an authority and leading figure in the field. It is hailed by experts as the book on the neuroscientist's bookshelf."
