5.0 out of 5 stars Great Neuroscience Book, May 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain (Book with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

I just finished using this book for an undergraduate course in neuroscience. It was one of the best biology books I have ever obtained. I have since read the sections the course did not have the time to cover and enjoyed them all. The figures are excellent and greatly aid in your learning. The authors are even somewhat comical at some points. In all, I would highly recommend this book for the introductory neuroscientist!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Text, December 13, 2005

This review is from: Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain (Book with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

If you have been dabbling in cognitive psychology and brain science, have found it interesting and are looking for a broad yet in-depth treatment then this book will not dissapoint you. It approaches Neuroscience from every possible angle: you will learn about the anatomy and physiology of the brain and how it produces, controls and mediates the sensory, motor and emotional functions that underlie human experience. The layout of the text is logical, it uses great pedagogical tools, and the writing is concise and informative (if a little dry). Highly recommended as a first textbook for serious study.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best for beginners in Neuroscience, August 26, 2003

By 

Sukhbinder Kumar (Newcastle upon Tyne) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain (Book with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

This title is the best I have come across and is most suitable for beginners in neuroscince who have no background in biology. Once you start reading the book it is almost difficult to put it away unless you finish the book.
