Product Description
This is the most authoritative introduction to the brain, its structure, function, development, and control of behavior available today. It presents both a comprehensive summary of the state of the science and a full discussion of historical issues in the study of the brain. Neuroanatomy, cell and molecular mechanisms, mechanisms of signaling, and development are thoroughly described in the context of the cognitive approaches to behavior. Thoroughly revised, with a new full-color art program, this text was re-designed to be more user friendly. Also featured is an expanded treatment of the development of the nervous system, the genetic basis of neurological and psychiatric diseases, the cognitive neuroscience of perception, and ion channel mechanisms.

 Excellent and thorough October 14, 2008
I purchased this textbook for a Neural Behavior class, and was very impressed. Definitely a keeper, I feel like I can go back to this book again and again for reference. The chapters are well connected, but take time to explain the material so that they don't need to be read sequentially. The only thing the book is lacking is a glossary, in my opinion. Overall a wonderful book!

i have no problem with this product. I will recommend it anytime to anyone that ask my advise.
 Very extensive, yet VERY dry June 29, 2008
This is a great book for an all questions answered guide to neuroscience. It has a chapter for what seems like every possible topic that could be speculated on with some certainty. However, as a consequence of it's thoroughness, it is not the kind of text book you can just pick up and read. In my opinion, you need to get turned on to a topic by some other source (a lecture, another text book, Wikipedia surfing) and then get the detail from this gigantic text book.
A testament to how thick it is, because it has had a couple of trips in my backpack, its binding is starting to sag from the hard cover.
Definitely not for the faint of heart.
Great material March 11, 2008

When I picked up this book, I had little clue about the science behind neuroscience and more importantly as to how physiologists think. For the engineer/mathematician, there is plenty of information for the uninitiated. A MUST for your reference shelf on account of its high-density resource on the subject.
