In addition, readers will be able to assess their knowledge of neuroanatomy with the Illustrated Guide to Human Neuroanatomy, which includes a perforated self-testing workbook. Needless to say, I was in over my head and had insane amounts of catching up to do once the first week of panic attacks dwindled.Overall, the book is completely amazing and I just can’t understand how could this book be ever rated by 1 or 2 stars!

I recommend this for anyone who wants to see the very basic connections between neuronal function and behavior. In just a few years, the field of neuroscience has been transformed by exciting new technologies and an explosion of knowledge about the brain.

As a chemist, I found it inspiring and fundamental to the furthering my understanding of chemistry/biochemistry. This book brought me up to speed and kept me reasonably current with the class through clear, straightforward speech and excellent scaffolding.Great book for even introductory readers like me who is trying to understand what goes on between ears.
