For over 25 years, Neuroscience has been the most comprehensive and clearly written neuroscience textbook on the market. This level of excellence continues in the Seventh Edition, with a balance of animal, human, and clinical studies that discuss the dynamic field of neuroscience from cellular signaling to cognitive function. New learning objectives, and more concise sections make the content even more accessible than before.
Neuroscience provides a bridge between the undergraduate and medical school worlds. It brings the relevance of neuroscience to both those exploring careers in the field as undergraduates and those developing core neuroscience understanding for medical school. It accomplishes this by presenting a balance of animal, human, and clinical studies that discuss the dynamic field of neuroscience from cellular signaling to cognitive function.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Excellent neuroscience text for both undergraduate and graduate student populations. The writing style is easy to comprehend. The figures are excellent and give a great visual interpretation for the content."
- Tanae reed, Eastern Kentucky University "The images and online resources from Oxford are worth making this the assigned text book alone. The reading is comprehensive, current and while difficult for psychology majors - is on par with other biology texts."
- Katherine Serfine, University of Texas at El Paso
