Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
“The book targets researchers, graduate students, and educators who face constant challenges on how to modify the external environment of a specific neuron in order to obtain specific behavioral results. The author is a credible authority on the subject but I think the scope of the book has an audience beyond that proposed by the author. Neurology and neurosurgery residents would also find it useful to read this book in order to better understand the mechanisms of control of the central nervous system…This is a good contribution to the field of neuroscience. Besides the initial aim signaled by the authors, I would extend the list of readers to neurology and neurosurgery residents, who are daily questioned on the genetic-physiologic correlation of diseases dealt with on a daily basis.” -Doody’s Health Sciences Book Review Journal
“…not just a textbook on neuroscience, as readers might imagine from the book title, but rather an essential guide for experts, beginners and students in the field of cell biology and pharmacology…written by experts who have made major contributions in their field…” – Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy
“…this volume is not just a textbook on neuroscience, as readers might imagine from the book title, but rather an essential guide for exerts, beginners and students in the field of cell biology and pharmacology…written by experts who have made major contributions in their field…” – Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy
“Once one begins to read in greater depth, it becomes clear that this volume is not just a textbook on neuroscience, as readers might imagine from the book title, but rather an essential guide for experts, beginners and students in the field of cell biology and pharmacology…written by experts who have made major contributions in their field…this book, besides being an excellent learning tool, is to enjoy.” -Elsevier
From the Back Cover
Insightful and integrative, The Neuronal Environment: Brain Homeostasis in Health and Disease demonstrates for today’s neuroscientists, cell biologists, and pharmacologists a clear new understanding that neurons do not work in isolation, that they need constant interactions with other brain components to process information, and that they are not the brain’s sole information processing system.
