Dear All,

The following is a compiled list of books and references for the entire course that will be helpful.

Thanks and Regards

Vignesh (TA)





Textbook

  1. “Principles of Neural Science” - Eric Kandel, James Schwartz


Reference Books

  1. “Physiology” - Linda Costanzo (for Membrane Physiology)

  2. “Neurophysiological Basis of Movement” - Mark Latash (for Reflexes)

  3. “Neuroscience” - Dale Purves (for General overview)

  5. Calcium Induced Calcium release in Cardiac muscle. Check out this unique mechanism by which the cardiac muscles produce a contraction. Extracellular Ca2+ causes opening of RyR receptor, leading to release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Hence the name Calcium-induced calcium release. Earlier thought to be a feature of all muscles, this is now believed to be restricted to cardiac muscles and some non-muscle cells.  Check this out.
