Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain (International Edition)

Product Information

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.

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. Mark Bear is Picower Professor of Neuroscience in the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Acclaimed for its clear, friendly style, excellent illustrations, leading author team, and compelling theme of exploration, Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain, Fourth Edition takes a fresh, contemporary approach to the study of neuroscience, emphasizing the biological basis of behaviour.

Sheridan Award for Distinguished Contributions to Teaching and Learning, and the Undergraduate Council of Students Award for Excellence in Teaching. 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. Highly detailed introduction to neuroscience, providing a comprehensive explanation of the core molecular, cellular and functional areas of the brain. D. in physiology and pharmacology from Duke University in 1979, and then pursued postdoctoral training with David Prince and Stephen Waxman at the Stanford University School of Medicine.As a chemist, I found it inspiring and fundamental to the furthering my understanding of chemistry/biochemistry. 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. Although I hadn't thoroughly read through other textbooks for a fair comparison, I found the short stories and 'paths to discovery' to be exciting and inspiring, and they were sprinkled all throughout the textbook.
