5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference text, June 2, 1999

This review is from: Principles of Neural Science (Hardcover)

In my undergraduate neural science class we used the essentials of neural science - an abridged version of this text. The shortened version provides plenty of information for an undergraduate level course and perhaps even for medical school. In medical school, however, I used this text, The Principles, and was pleasantly surprised that was no more difficult to follow that the "simplified" version that I had used previously. I really enjoy this book and plan to use it for many years as a reference. It is truly unfortunate, however, that Prof. Ron Calabrese did not have the opportunity to infuse this text with a little of his own personal flavor!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Reference, February 6, 1999

This review is from: Principles of Neural Science (Hardcover)

A great book for those really interested in the neurosciences. This is a bit too detailed for the average medical student, but a great source of information for those truly interested in the neurosciences. I have often found it useful as a reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent coverage of neural basics, October 7, 1998

This review is from: Principles of Neural Science (Hardcover)

This book, more than any other on the subject, remains my bible. Neuron to Brain is good, as well as some others, but this remains the clasic tome. Highly recommended.
