Abstract: |
Neurobiology is a multidisciplinary science to which many disciplines contribute, including molecular biology, computational sciences, physiology, pharmacology, photonics, physics and others. The purpose of this book is to introduce students/readers to some basic principles of neurobiology, to present them with some innovative developments that are occurring very rapidly, and to give them the opportunity to explore the field of the sciences underlying neurobiology on their own through a presentation and assignment. It includes the following topics: Fundamentals of neuroanatomy, types of neurons, physiological properties of neurons, ion channels, energy potential, transmission of energy potential, neurotransmitters, mechanism of neurotransmitter release, neurotransmitter receptors, synaptic potentials, integration of synaptic potentials, structure and organization of sensory systems, transmission and processing of somatosensory stimuli, transmission and processing of visual stimuli, perception of visual stimuli, generation of motor programs, the brain's reward system focusing on the actions of the neurotransmitter dopamine, neurobiological basis of motor disorders, cellular mechanisms of memory and learning, neurobiological basis of psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and addiction, and neurological diseases such as epilepsy.
