3th Edition. Springer, 2009 - 758 p.
The Handbook is intended to be a service to the
neuroscience community, to help in finding available and useful information, to point out gaps in our knowledge, and to encourage continued studies. It represents the valuable contributions of the many authors of the chapters and the guidance of the editors and most important, it represents support for research in this discipline.
