Synaptic Organization of the Brain: An Introduction Essential reading for serious neuroscientists This book is arguably the most fundamental and important book in the entire field of neuroscience. It's not easy reading; an unbelievable amount of information is packed into its 500-odd pages.

It is like a wise and trusted mentor, who is always there for youThe marvel of the book in all editions is how much information is packed into such a small number of pages, yet it is comprehensibleany college or university instructor who teaches neurobiology ought to read this book, for it provides a depth of knowledge and perspective that cannot be gained from a (bad) strategy of knowing the course textbook cold and staying a few chapters ahead of one's students."--Contemporary Psychology"The book remains a staple, and should be on the shelf of any serious neuroscientist."--The Quarterly Review of Biology"By any measure this work is a classicIt will undoubtedly take its place as one of the most significant and comprehensive commentaries of our time on structure and function of nervous tissue."--Electrocephalography and Clinical Neurophysiolog
As in past editions, each chapter follows the same format: neural elements, synaptic connections, basic circuits, physiological properties, neurotransmitters, and dendritic properties. A special focus is on methods for modeling neurons and circuits, as a first step toward a "biophysics of neural computation" and the construction of more realistic neural networks.. To ensure authoritative coverage, the chapters have been written by leading researchers in each region. Each chapter now has a concluding section which discusses functional implications. The book also provides up-to-date summaries of neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, second-messengers and ligand-and voltage-gated membrane channels for each brain region. This organization gives a logical structure to the description of each region, and greatly facilitates comparisons between regions and identification of common principles. The third edition of The Synaptic Organization of the Brain continues the tradition of earlier editions in focusing on the principles underlying the organization of neurons and synapses into functional circuits within the best-studied regions of the brain: autonomic ganglia, spinal cord, olfactory bulb, retina, cerebellum, thalamus, basal ganglia

"Marvelous book for the brain aficionado" according to Serendipitous Journey. This is an excellent book: clear, well-organized, and well-written. It examines how groups of neurons give rise to brain functions. The introductory chapter lays the groundwork, going over basic theories of how groups of cells perform computations and what mechanisms they use to do it. Subsequent chapters stand alone, each with a focus on a particular brain region (hippocampus, basal ganglia, cortex, thalamus, r
