Neurophysiology, 3Ed: A Conceptual Approach, Fifth Edition

The third edition of this highly successful textbook covers the entire subject, from the conduction of nerve impulses to the higher psychological functions of the brain. Throughout the text, emphasis is placed on function rather then mechanism, that is, what neurophysiological systems do rather than how they do it.
