Handbook of Brain Microcircuits
Handbook of Brain Microcircuits by Gordon M. Shepherd, published by Oxford University Press in 2018, is a comprehensive resource spanning 599 pages. This updated and revised second edition explores the functional organization of 50 brain regions, employing an interdisciplinary approach that integrates structure, function, electrophysiology, pharmacology, brain imaging, and behavior. The text features concise chapters authored by experts in the field, synthesizing new principles of microcircuit organization that contribute to the understanding of the brain connectome.
Readers will find insights into various brain regions through canonical microcircuit diagrams, as well as the latest methodologies in optogenetics, neurotransmitter uncaging, and computational models. The book also discusses extrapolated data from new genetic tools applied to microcircuits in both mouse and Drosophila, highlighting common principles across vertebrate and invertebrate microcircuit systems. This edition serves as a significant contribution to the fields of medical, neurology, and neuroscience, providing a detailed examination of the integration of neuronal pathways and essential microcircuits with brain function.
Official synopsis Publisher
Updated and revised, the second edition of Handbook of Brain Microcircuits covers the functional organization of 50 brain regions. This now-classic text uses an interdisciplinary approach to examine the integration of structure, function, electrophysiology, pharmacology, brain imaging, and behavior. Through uniquely concise and authoritative chapters by leaders in their fields, the Handbook of Brain Microcircuits synthesizes many of the new principles of microcircuit organization that are defining a new era in understanding the brain connectome, integrating the major neuronal pathways and essential microcircuits with brain function.
