The Brain and Mind discussion

Can someone please suggest any books which explain Neuroscience concepts with their applications in a simple and easy manner....Most of the books that explain Neuroscience basics are textbooks meant for students pursuing a degree in Neuroscience.

Thanks & Keep Reading..!!

I haven't followed this group as much and maybe someone has already mentioned this. But the very first neuroscience book I read, and compared to what I've read since, was very basic and easy to understand. It laid a groundwork for me to build upon in subsequent reading. Do you know The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science ?

It's a good one and still kept my attention the whole time.

Thanks, Heather. I've read a fair number of books on the brain, but I've never heard of this one. Can't wait to read it.

You're welcome! :)

The Human Brain Book
Is both beautiful, an excellent introduction to neuroscience and quite provocative. Actually makes a good coffee table book as well. Included is a DVD of brain imaging.

And please don't miss out on Kandel's "Principles of Neuroscience ". It is probably the best text to date
