Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain (International Edition)

Product Information

Of Special Interest boxes provide interesting facts and topics that connect theory with real-life neuroscience applications. I think this is the definitive textbook for laypeople or human science students (psychology) to begin seriously studying neuroscience. We also use different external services like Google Webfonts, Google Maps, and external Video providers.

For systems neuroscience students, I'd advise Larry Squire's Fundamental Neuroscience for Systems Neuroscience over this, as it has more chapters dedicated to functions of the nervous system (sleep, pain etc. Acclaimed for its clear, friendly style, excellent illustrations, leading author team, and compelling theme of exploration, Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain, 4e takes a fresh, contemporary approach to the study of neuroscience, emphasizing the biological basis of behavior.

He has been at the forefront of the efforts to translate knowledge of autism pathophysiology into new treatments. A neuroanatomy atlas insert (Appendix to Chapter 7) provides large images that highlight the anatomy of the brain, along with a self-quiz that gives students an opportunity to check their understanding. This book brought me up to speed and kept me reasonably current with the class through clear, straightforward speech and excellent scaffolding.

Even though the first 6 chapters may seem familiar and’ve been already covered in physiology courses, it has its own taste and beauty and makes reading it feel like the first time.Admittedly this would be very difficult to draw correctly, but then again, real anatomical dimorphism is less consistent than this, that's a valid excuse.

Great book for even introductory readers like me who is trying to understand what goes on between ears. I leave you leave with questions to ponder--Is the brain the fundamental last frontier or is it the cosmos? Otherwise the book was both a good textbook and an interesting helpful book to pass my neuroscience class.

As a chemist, I found it inspiring and fundamental to the furthering my understanding of chemistry/biochemistry.Paradiso is course director of Brown's popular introductory neuroscience course, for which Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain was written.
