Editorial Reviews
Review
As is the tradition with this book, current neuroanatomical and neurophysiological concepts are explained in detail and fully illustrated. The addition of current concepts on neuroplasticity and behavior, as well as the web resources, significantly enrich this edition. This is a worthy and affordable book for neuroscience students. ... An excellent contribution to the study of neuroscience, deserving of its place in neurology, neurosurgery, and neurosciences libraries. --Celso Agner, Doody's Book Review

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The summaries and overviews do help, but it would be nice to have some key points instead (bullet points corresponding to sections of the chapter, or a list of learning objectives?). Sometimes I felt like I wasn't sure what was important and what wasn't.
Also, I was really disappointed that I could not access any of the online quizzes without being associated with a class. The chapters should really include a set of questions at the end to help you absorb the material, or at least help you think about it a bit.
That being said, this book is very useful for people just learning about neuroscience in depth. It goes through certain signaling pathways in great depth, provides excellent diagrams, and is generally well-written. There is ample margin space for annotations and I find the organization to generally be logical and easy to understand.
I would recommend this book to anyone who needs a general reference book in the specialized area of neuroscience.
This is an older edition, and doesn't translate over to the 5th edition page numbers if you need this for class. (I have it as a supplement to my online course, so for me it's totally fine.)
Some minor typographical errors in this book, but about 10 out of the entire text is not bad.
