Foundations of Neuroscience<\/em>\u00a0is aimed at undergraduate students new to the field of neuroscience.

For example, only three sensory systems are discussed in this version of the text. Future editions will continue to expand the number of topics and concepts presented (see below for a list of planned topics).<\/p>\n
