A good text for students interested in learning more about the relationship of brain and behavior. Not for people wanting a general survey of the topic. You will need to have some basic understanding of cellular biology. (One major drawback ... the print is way too small.) This would possibly serve as a good text for undergraduates in their third or fourth years of study within the disciplines of psychology, neuroscience or premed ... after they have taken courses in General Biology, Organic Chemistry, and Anatomy & Physiology, along with Introduction to Psychology and Abnormal Psychology?

If anyone wants to learn Neuroscience, I would suggest start with Behave by Robert Sapolsky. This book is a little advanced. I really enjoyed it despite being someone not of a science background. I did my previous reading of neuroscience books by Sapolsky with 'Behave', and 'Brain Energy' by Palmer. This author cites many of the same case studies about human behaviour and neuroscience as Sapolsky which I find quaint. It really goes through everything, this book. Movement, psychiatric conditions, neurological conditions, drugs, sexuality, twin studies, movement, the vestibular system, audition (hearing), vision, consciousness, neurons, language. There are 15 chapters with various focuses and subchapters within the subchapters. I really love reading science and these books have sparked a new passion for me which I'm really happy to have discovered.

I enjoyed this book more than other textbooks I've read. It goes into much greater detail than past physiology texts, but contains great examples of how modern scientific knowledge is being applied and where we still have unknowns. I prefer paper books, but this edition has a nice digital highlighter feature.

It was a textbook for a class. Hated the fact that the coloring for the definitions were such a dark blue. Was really hard to pick them out of paragraphs.

This was a super interesting book. It had a lot of interesting topics and thankfully, Professor Reyes is a great teacher.
