Glossary
"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 Service
Thorough and accessible, an excellent companion text
This book definitely held my interest. It is my first neuroanatomy English written textbook and i am under the impression. The text is detailed and very informative. However book is written clearly and does not overwhelm the reader. The figures are very good and perfectly correspond to the text. Moreover, they are very informative and supporting in education process. I would strongly recommend it to almost all neuroanatomy courses.
An excellent book, I think every student should have one copy of this book.
Our Neuroscience department is in pursuit for new textbook for our graduate students. I think this book could be great option. Nice illustrations, concise text and up to date concepts is what this book offers and exactly what students need.
Very good book for students who are really interested, perhaps to difficult for all bachelor students. Me as a teacher I like it very much an use is in my lessons.
