در مورد کتاب درسی که بخاطرش بیدار موندم چون خوندنش برام لذت بخش بود چی باید بگم؟
اگر شما هم حس می‌کنید علم رو دوست دارید ولی درسای دانشگاه و مدرسه داره علاقتون رو تخریب می‌کنه،پیشنهاد می‌کنم فصلهایی از این کتاب رو که براتون جالبه بخونید(البته که همش خیلی جالب و جذابه و همونقدر جذاب هم نوشته شده(
باشد تا افراد بیشتری دیدشون به روانپزشکی مثل دکتر هیگینز باشه

Loved this book!

Easy to read. Fascinating information. Wonderful illustrations. Clinically relevent. What more could you ask for? I look forward to the next edition!

[Essam Shabana]

A very good introduction in neuroscience. Simple language and up-to-date review of the discipline. The conversational style of writing made the book fun to read. I recommend it to anyone new to the field.

[Theresa Garton]

This is a fairly comprehensive, but also concise, survey of clinical neuroscience. It is interesting, and reasonably easy to grasp and remember. I used it for several rounds of instruction for psychiatry residents with good success.
