Informationen zum Autor Jean Dalibard works in the field of atomic physics and quantum optics. His recent activities is centered on the physics of cold quantum gases, in particular Bose-Einstein condensation. Klappentext Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that strives to understand the functioning of neural systems at levels ranging from biomolecules and cells to behaviour and higher brain functions (perception! memory! cognition). Neurophysics has flourished over the past three decades! becoming an indelible part of neuroscience! and has arguably entered its maturity. It encompasses a vast array of approaches stemming from theoretical physics! computer science! and applied mathematics. This book provides a detailed review of this field from basic concepts to its most recent development. Zusammenfassung Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that strives to understand the functioning of neural systems at levels ranging from biomolecules and cells to behaviour and higher brain functions (perception! memory! cognition).
