Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain (International Edition)

Product Information

Fox and Dorothea Doctors Fox Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Science and Professor of Neuroscience at Brown University. 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. The new Fourth Edition has been fully updated to reflect these and other rapid advances in the field, while honoring its commitment to be student-friendly with striking new illustrations, additional animations, and an unparalleled array of online resources. It is better for learning about behavioural experiments, gross neuroanatomy (regions not cell types) and fancy diagrams.

This book lacks fine detail, especially with respect to electrophysiology, computational approaches and molecular neuroscience. Herbert Ballou University Professor of Neuroscience and a Professor of Medical Science at Brown University and the Alpert Medical School. Some are essential to make our site work; others help us improve the user experience or allow us to effectively communicate with you. In the brain vasculature and mid-brain coronal/transverse section drawings, there is some confusing imagery that doesn't seem to match with its orthographic cross-section.

I recommend this for anyone who wants to see the very basic connections between neuronal function and behavior. Bear was on the faculty of Brown University School of Medicine for 17 years where he held the Sidney and Dorothy Doctors Fox Chair in Visual Neuroscience. In general terms, the concepts are explained extraordinarily well and in an arrangement that gradually builds an understanding of the underlying cellular mechanics so the reader (astoundingly) doesn't find themselves over their heads when later chapters paint the broader pictures of memory and learning. I think this is the definitive textbook for laypeople or human science students (psychology) to begin seriously studying neuroscience. This edition's robust ancillary package includes a bound-in student CD-ROM, an Instructor's Resource CD-ROM, and resources online.

It also makes it really entertaining in how it links basic science with the clinical aspect by tracking it down from discovery to practice.

Overall, the book is completely amazing and I just can’t understand how could this book be ever rated by 1 or 2 stars!

Its way of simplifying complex concepts in a digestible writing without losing its powerful context is entirely captivating. We also use different external services like Google Webfonts, Google Maps, and external Video providers.
