Reviews / Votes
"This book is an engaging overview of the human brain. Its focus is to provide readers with all the foundational knowledge needed to explore neuroanatomy and, in many instances, neurophysiology with greater focus." --Magdalena Muchlinski, Masters/Doctorate (MA; PhD) (Oregon Health and Science University) Doody's Review ServiceMore details
