Students will find this book to be the perfect introduction to their neuroscience courses, as well as a quick review for exam. Professionals will enjoy the way in which this complex topic is addressed in a simple and straightforward manner, and the general reader will satisfy a basic curiosity about the brain and its role within the central nervous system.

[Alliegha Ziegenthaler · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is about the brain and how it works. It has lots of science and lots of information on the brain. I would reccanmend this book to someone who wants to become a doctor or very instrested in the brain and how it works. This book gives info on how our brain takes in info and keeps it in our brain. It talked about how we can read and remember things. It talked about if, if you were brain dead you couldn't move because your brain tells your body when to move your arm. So if you were brain dead you couldn't process info or move eats you couldn't fully take care of your self. This book was very good, but I wouldn't recommend it if you arnt into science. I give this book 3 out of 5 starts because it was good but some parts weren't as good as i thought it would be and they dont explain everything.
