Neuroscience For Dummies, 2nd Edition 2nd Edition

I bought this book to supplement a research proposal I was putting together. I am not a neuroscientist (obviously), but this book included great references that I was then able to use in order to head off in the right direction. The format of the book is such that you can read individual chapters without having to read the entire thing, something critically important for a book like this.

Dummy proof read. It really is. It's great for future students. Or if you're just interested in neuroscience

I learned a lot from the 1st Ed and I recently bought the 2nd Ed to see what's new in the very fast-changing field of neuroscience. There is not much new in this book. They changed the font, added a few lines here a there, dumbed down the index (a big loss if you use the index to track topics across the book). I recommend you buy the 1st Ed if it is cheaper.This is a "for dummies" book. The style is s very choppy, but interesting, and the reader has to take responsibility for integrating their "learning" across and among topics.I took off 1 Star for the thin, very cheap paper used to produce it. Highlighting and underlining text sometimes destroys any text on the reverse side of the page. Cheap paper; cheap scholarship? According to the data in this book, my associative neural processes made that inference about 0.5 msecs before my rational neural processes could give it the benefit of the doubt.

I wanted to read this book to gain exposure to biological and human affects of the brain. This was just that and more. It lays our the phylogenetic structures easily and expands on how they develop and are different. The book makes references to genetics and animal structures. It also makes very good explanations about some of the common human brain dysfunctions.

I am thrilled that this exists. Seriously. I think that it is brilliant that this is so readily available and affordable. My daughter even read along with me and learned a lot in just the few times.

Great condition and quick delivery

Why are we forbidden to know about the most important aspect of being human? This book is a "must read."

Excellent, credible, and valid resource for your academic and/or professional literature reviews! Very informative!
