Students in undergraduate, graduate, and medical school neuroscience courses, as well as general readers interested in the nervous system. Core Themes From Single Cells to Perception From Neuron to Brain

The text emphasizes how individual act as building blocks for higher-order functions. It often begins with the visual system—tracing signals from light receptors in the retina to the complex perception of images in the cortex—to illustrate how neural architecture translates into experience.
