From Molecules to Networks: An Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience - Hardcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Dr. Byrne is internationally recognized for his work on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of learning. He has also contributed substantially to graduate and medical education, both locally and nationally. For example, he has authored or edited 15 books including three editions of his textbook From Molecules to Networks: An Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience and two editions as Editor-In-Chief of the four-volume Learning and Memory: A Comprehensive Reference, both published by Academic Press. Another contribution is the development of an innovative electronic online textbook Neuroscience Online, which in 2020 received more than two million visits. His YouTube video Introduction to Neuroscience has 898,000 views. Over the past 40

years, he has trained 38 postdoctoral fellows and 25 graduate students. His contributions to education and mentoring have been recognized by his receipt of the Award for Education in Neuroscience from the Society for Neuroscience, The University of Texas System Award for Innovation in Health Science Education, The UTHealth President’s Award for Mentoring Women, the UTHealth President’s Scholar Award for Teaching and the UT System Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award.

Professor, Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy, University of Texas Medical School at Houston. Dr. Heidelberger is an accomplished cellular neurophysiologist specializing in mechanisms of neurotransmitter release. She received her doctoral training under the guidance of Gary Matthews and her postdoctoral training under the direction of Nobel Laureate Erwin Neher. Dr. Heidelberger is a former president and executive board member of the Biophysical Society's Subgroup on Exocytosis and Endocytosis and serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Neurophysiology. She has directed and taught graduate-level courses in cellular neurophysiology and membrane biophysics for more than a decade.

The William Wheless III Professor, Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy, University of Texas Medical School at Houston. Dr. Waxham’s multi-disciplinary laboratory focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of synaptic function and plasticity. He has developed and directed graduate-level courses in cellular and molecular neurobiology for more than two decades.
