About
Summary
Molecular Neuroscience explores how chemistry and electricity create the language of the brain. Chapter 1 introduces the neuron as the basic unit of communication. Chapter 2 explains action potentials, showing how ion channels drive electrical signals. Chapter 3 reveals synaptic transmission, where neurotransmitters bridge neurons. Chapter 4 uncovers synaptic plasticity, the molecular basis of learning and memory. Chapter 5 links these processes to brain health and disease, from Parkinson’s to depression, while highlighting future therapies and the promise of molecular research. It shows how tiny molecular events shape thought, memory, and identity.Book information
