From the Back Cover

This textbook is intended to give an introduction to neuroscience for students and researchers with no biomedical background. Primarily written for psychologists, this volume is a digest giving a rapid but solid overview for people who want to inform themselves about the core fields and core concepts in neuroscience but don't need so many anatomical or biochemical details given in "classical" textbooks for future doctors or biologists.

The book is divided in two parts. The first part presents core concepts in neuroscience, such as:

    Electrical Signals in the Nervous System
  • Basics of Neuropharmacology
  • Neurotransmitters

The second part presents an overview of the neuroscience fields of special interest for psychology:

  • Clinical Neuropharmacology
  • Inputs, Outputs and Multisensory Processing
  • Neural Plasticity in Humans
  • Mathematical Modeling in Neuroscience
  • Subjective Experience and its Neural Basis


A last chapter presents the diverse methods used in Neuroscience with emphasis on electrophysiology and, most of all, brain imaging methods.


Neuroscience for Psychologists aims to fill a gap in the teaching literature by providing an introductory text for psychology students that can also be used in other social sciences courses, as well as a complement in courses of neurophysiology and neuropharmacology in careers outside biological or medical fields.

Marc Zeise is a German neurobiologist who has been working for four decades in investigation and teaching. Having studied biology in Munich and Tübingen he worked on colour processing in the amphibian retina in the Max-Planck-Institute of Biophysical Chemistry and in the Ruhr-University Bochum until its doctorate. He performed postdoctoral studies at the Max-Planck-Institutes for Brain Research and for Psychiatry in Frankfurt and Munich, respectively, elaborating cellular mechanisms of action of diverse neuroactive substances such as baclofen, NMDA, valproate, melatonin, neurosteroids and cytokines. In 1993 he went to Chile doing research on the effects of organophosphate pesticides and methylbromide on the Central Nervous System. Later, in 2004, he became a professor at the School of Psychology at the University of Santiago de Chile. There, he teaches Neuroscience courses and does research on the plastic/metaplastic effects of psychostimulants.
