{"product_id":"the-synaptic-organization-of-the-brain","title":"The Synaptic Organization of the Brain","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is widely recognized that the neural basis of brain function can be fully understood only by integrating many disciplines at many levels. Studies of synaptic organization are bringing about a quiet revolution in achieving this goal  as documented by this unique book over the past 30 years. In this fifth edition  the results of the mouse and human genome projects are incorporated for the first time. Molecular biologists interested in functional genomics and proteomics of the brain will find answers here to the critical questions: what are the cell and circuit functions of gene products? Also for the first time  the reader is oriented to supporting neuroscience databases. Among the new advances covered are 2-photon confocal laser microscopy of dendrites and dendritic spines  biochemical analyses  and dual patch and multielectrode recordings  applied together with an increasing range of behavioral and gene-targeting methods. Leading experts in the best understood brain regions bring together the molecular  anatomical  functional  and behavioral data in authoritative integrated accounts. The chapters are organized in the same format  covering the neural elements  synaptic connections  basic circuits  physiology  neurotransmitters  neuromodulators  membrane properties  dendritic properties  and with a final section on how the circuits mediate specific behaviors. The uniform framework for each chapter enables the authors to higlight the principles that are common to all regions  as well as the adaptations unique to each  thus serving as a model for understanding the neural basis of behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964249960501,"sku":"ByrdShop_019515956X","price":74.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195159561.jpg?v=1770453986","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-synaptic-organization-of-the-brain","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
