Booknews

A text for science and nonscience majors in introductory neuroscience, neurobiology, and physiological psychology courses. Covers what is commonly taught to most second-year medical students, but without the prerequisites and with less clinical emphasis, comparable to an introductory college level text in general biology. Features boxes on neuroscience discoveries by the discoverers themselves, real world neuroscience applications, and discussion of advanced topics, plus chapter outlines, key terms, review questions, and a glossary.
