DESCRIPTION:
This is a must have book for all scientists, Attila Losonczy This is a must have book for all scientists, undergrads, students, postdocs and faculty, who are interested in cellular and circuit neuroscience. The third edition of the book has been substantially extended to incorporate many recent new information on e.g. how dendrites process and store information in the intact brain and how plastic changes of dendrites and synaptic contact on them can support various higher order cognitive functions (e.g sensory perception, learning, and memory) in the brain. All 25 chapters of the book were written by leading researchers in the particular area and the book
He subsequently worked with Bert Sakmann at the Max-Planck-Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg and with Philippe Ascher at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris. After his PhD he worked for 5 years at the Max Planck Institute of Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany. He did his undergraduate at Monash University (Melbourne), before doing a PhD in Neuroscience at the ANU. He has al

Dendrites are complex neuronal structures that receive and integrate synaptic input from other nerve cells. It contains a comprehensive survey of the current state of dendritic research across a wide range of topics, from dendritic morphology, evolution, development, and plasticity through to the electrical, biochemical and computational properties of dendrites, and finally to the key role of dendrites in brain disease. They therefore play a critical role in brain function. This is the third edition of the first book devoted exclusively to dendrites. Although dendrites were discovered over a century ago, due to the development of powerful new techniques there has been a dramatic resurgence of interest in the properties and function of these beautiful structures. "Dendrites" will be of interest to researchers and students in neuroscience and related fields, as well as to anyone interested in how the brain works.. The third edition has been thoroughly revised, with each chapter updated or completely rewritten by leading experts, plus the addition of a number of new chapters
