Reviews

[Terry · Rating 3 out of 5]

Much of the information in this book is outdated insofar as there has been significant research, discovery and progress in the field of neuroscience over the past 35 years. Nonetheless it does provide a rehash of fundamental concepts and terms pertaining to the science of the brain and reminder as to why it is the most amazing and wonderful organ in the known universe.
