Highly recommended novice and upwards
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 September 2014Verified Purchase
621 pages on the brain and behaviour. Covers brain and behaviour, nervous system, Neurons, brain development, senses, what causes emotional and motivated behaviour, why do we sleep, dream how do we learn and remember, how does the brain think, 15 wonderfully written chapters, complete with illustrations. If your interested at all in the brain this book is worthy of any collection. I bought it to understand the brain with limited initial knowledge and found it a easy to read book. The credentials of the authors are of a high standard. This is based on the 2nd edition.

Brain Fanatics
Reviewed in the United States on 27 December 2006Verified Purchase
This textbook provides a thorough introduction to the brain, starting from the nerves to actual sensory systems (motor, auditory, visual etc.,). Even though I spent some time reading this book, I was disappointed the professor only referred to it once or twice and relied primarily on lectures to create tests. Besides providing the mechanism behind the flow of information in the brain, its discussion of how injuries to the brain result in certain conditions (visual agnosia, neglect syndrome, amnesia, aphasia etc.,) also helped my understanding of the material a lot. The biggest hurdle is understanding how nerves function, after that everything is more or less memorization.
