Biology of Sensory Systems 2e
Autor Smithen Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 ian 2009
Written by a renowned author with extensive teaching experience, the book covers, in six parts, the general features of sensory systems, the mechanosenses, the chemosenses, the senses which detect electromagnetic radiation, other sensory systems including pain, thermosensitivity and some of the minority senses and, finally, provides an outline and discussion of philosophical implications.
New in this edition:
- Greater emphasis on molecular biology and intracellular mechanisms
- New chapter on genomics and sensory systems
- Sections on TRP channels, synaptic transmission, evolution of nervous systems, arachnid mechanosensitive sensilla and photoreceptors, electroreception in the Monotremata, language and the FOXP2 gene, mirror neurons and the molecular biology of pain
- Updated passages on human olfaction and gustation.
Praise from the reviews of the first edition:
"An excellent advanced undergraduate/postgraduate textbook." ASLIB BOOK GUIDE
"The emphasis on comparative biology and evolution is one of the distinguishing features of this self-contained book. .... this is an informative and thought-provoking text..." TIMES HIGHER EDUCATIONAL SUPPLEMENT
