Introduction

The writing of Neuroscience was motivated by our collective passions to further the understanding of the science in an accessible and engaging manner. We wrote this book as a window into the interesting world of neuroscience and to hopefully supplement your knowledge of the subject. Here, we discuss the fundamentals and basic themes of neuroscience, as well as newer developments and emerging topics. The topics range from neurodegeneration and common neuroscience lab techniques to the gut-brain-axis and crossovers with various other disciplines. The textbook is designed in a way to match typical neuroscience syllabi at the undergraduate level.
