Principles of Neural Science, Fourth Edition Hardcover – 16 Jan. 2000

This book is referenced in almost all of my neuroscience modules in college. Provides a good basis for all concepts, with clear diagrams and pictures. Packed to the brim with details.Delighted with this purchase. It was in perfect condition, better than some of the copies present in my colleges library! Prompt delivery in addition.

This textbook is listed in the required reading for my MSc Neuroscience degree at UCL. It has excellent descriptions of all areas of neuroscience, and this version has updated pictures - as well as content - that make everything much easier to understand. I would list this book as THE definitive neuroscience textbook. Enjoy!

Just as described and arrived ahead of time.

Fast delivery and a great text for degree level students. I marked it down by one star as it arrived with page tabs on which could easily have been removed.

So good

love the book

Brilliant book. Currently in my second year at Cambridge...and I couldn't be without it! Fantastic detail, and written very well. Lots of little clinical snippets too, which makes all the science so much more relevant. A heavy book, but worth it.

This is a great book by any standard. A massive amount of information in the vast field of neuroscience is covered in detail and synthesized in a coherent fashion. In addition to Eric Kandel's pioneering laboratory research, this book is one of his great contributions to neuroscience, and of course many other scientists contributed to it, including James Schwartz and Thomas Jessell. It's as good as the best textbooks I've read, such as Alberts' Molecular Biology of the Cell. It covers up to date research, in addition to the history of the field. Topics range from the molecular workings of the neuron all the way up to behavior. It's not at all dumbed down, so someone seeking a "CliffsNotes" version of the field should look elsewhere. I suppose, however, if someone just wants a summary of the field, he can simply read the subheadlines in each chapter. The book is lengthy due to its detail, but the intelligent general reader should readily understand nearly all of it. And in spite of its length it actually is concise in covering this broad range of subject matter. Author of Adjust Your Brain: A Practical Theory for Maximizing Mental Health.
