5 out of 5 stars Neural Science Review   September 20, 2005

The delivery was very fast and arrived within a week of ordering. I felt very prepared for my Neurobiology class. Thanks!



4 out of 5 stars An excellent introductory survey of neuron function   March 2, 1997
24 out of 24 found this review helpful

This book is currently in use in many undergraduate institutions, and is amenable to use by first-time students to neurobiology who have a basic grounding in molecular biology. It is clear, concise, and rich with useful diagrams. Its structural layout is also effective for a progressive self-study approach since the chapters for the most part build and draw upon each other in a successive sense. I would recommend it as a "Must-read" for all introductory neurobiology students. A firm grasping of the information and concepts presented in this book will serve as a strong base from which students can begin to explore more detailed topics in the field without getting overwhelmed

As a undergraduate student studying neurobiology, I found this book to be excellent in terms of simple explanations. This book was very easy to read and understand.


4 out of 5 stars Very good introduction to Neural Science   February 22, 2004
1 out of 8 found this review helpful

This is a very good introduction to Nural Science in general.
Not only it explains the inner workings of bio-chemical transmission used in the synapses and general nervous system, but it also goes beyond to explain what certain areas of the brain are responsable for, and what we believe are their working patterns.

It covers the general points, but lacks on deepness. Don't try to look in it for a thourough description of memory processes and how memory works, for instance.

this book was in pretty good shape. However there were many hi lighted markings thruout the book that made it difficult to read. It was a bit overpriced. the book came in a timely fashion.
