Okay, since I basically read this book front to back for class, I am going to mark it on Goodreads. Overall, I recommend it if you enjoy Behavioural Neuroscience or are required to take this class... it had some jokes that made me chuckle sometimes.

I mean I truly can’t complain, I did end up switching my major to behavioral neuroscience so I think this textbook made that knowledge and interest so accessible. The sections are a good length and truly was informative!! Unfortunately, the rat sex diagram is seared into my brain forever !!

I learned all my intro to neuroscience course material from this book because my professor taught us nothing.
