Modelled on the classic "Neuroscience Study Program" volumes which helped define an evolving field, this text provides a reference that documents and defines the emerging field of cognitive neuroscience. The 92 original contributions provide comprehensive coverage - from the molecular level right up to human conscious experience - of one of the most interesting areas of modern science, namely the relationship between the structural and physiological mechanisms of the brain/nervous system and the psychological reality of mind.

The Cognitive Neurosciences,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cognitive Neurosciences (Hardcover)
The Cognitive Neurosciences by M.S. Gazzaniga is an exhaustive (and I mean exhaustive) collection of articles representing major theories in each field of cognitive neuroscience. The book focuses on cognitive neuroscience as opposed to something like neuropsychopharmacology or neuroanatomy. It also weighs a ton and a paperback version would be most welcome. Being comprehensive, there is a good deal of depth, but not the kind of depth you'd see in a text on a specific area (e.g., memory). That being said, this is the high-mark for this kind of comprehensive book. My favorite book in the area. Stephen Cox
