The adult brain of mammals, including non-human primates and humans, continuously generates new neurons throughout life, contributing to brain function in both health and disease.
The definitive field guide to all the sharks, rays and chimaeras of eastern North AmericaThe waters off the East Coast of North America are home to an amazing variety of sharks, rays and chimaeras.
Charles Darwin was much more than the scientist who changed biology: he was a man of tireless curiosity, deep doubts, and a life marked by love, illness, travel, and observation of the natural world.
Hormones in Neuroscience: The Thyroid Gland and Thyroid Hormones explores the thyroid gland and thyroid hormones in-depth, presenting the latest research in neuroendocrinology and how it applies to translational and multidisciplinary methods.
An engaging and beautifully illustrated introduction to some of the world's most interesting and charismatic marine creaturesDive deep into the fascinating world of cephalopodsoctopuses, squid, cuttlefish, and the mysterious nautilusto discover the astonishing diversity of this unique group of intelligent invertebrates and their many roles in the marine ecosystem.
Why information is the unifying principle that allows us to understand the evolution of complexity in natureMore than 150 years after Darwin's revolutionary On the Origin of Species, we are still attempting to understand and explain the amazing complexity of life.
