Basic Neurochemistry

This is the only complete advanced textbook that covers all major principles of neurochemistry and neurobiology. It is a classic text now in its 8th edition and is co-published with the American Society for Neurochemistry whose mission is to advance and promote cellular and molecular neuroscience knowledge around the world. The book's team of editors and chapter authors are among the world's leading neuroscientists. The new edition has a renewed focus on clinical applications so that students can better understand the molecular bases of human disease and how pharmacotherapies are developed.
