Lectures in neuroscience

Summary: "This textbook is an easily accessible overview of current neuroscience, written in a conversational style adapted from Rafael Yuste's lecture notes. The focus of the book is on true principles to guide students through increasingly complex topics. Beginning from the basic elements of neuroscience-neurons and how they work-the chapters take on increasingly more sophisticated and complicated brain systems. Yuste aims to provide undergraduate students their first glimpse into the complex world of motor planning and olfaction; internal states and decision making; language and learning. The text is supplemented by custom illustrations created specifically for the book and overseen by the author"--
