Review
"Comprehensive in its coverage. The quality of the writing and of the numerous beautiful color figures is excellent... Cowan and Eric Kandel offer an engaging history of the study of synaptic transmission from the first hints of its existence in 1791 through the 1970s... For both seasoned neurobiologists and interested newcomers to the field, this book is a worthwhile introduction to the wonders of synapses and the many opportunities for future study that they offer." -- Mary B. Kennedy, Science
"Drawing on the expertise of recognized leaders in the field, the editors have compiled 15 chapters that skillfully relay the rich history and complexity of synapses. A fascinating introduction by Max Cowan and Eric Kandel chronicles the historical underpinnings of the synapse and sets the scholarly tone for the rest of the book. Synapses is an impressive book that will be a useful reference to neuroscientists at all levels." -- Michael D. Ehlers and Guoping Feng, Nature
"An important book. It covers an astounding array of interesting topics and begins with a wonderful historical review by Max Cowan and Eric Kandel." -- John P. Horn, American Scientist
"Perhaps the most unique feature of Synapses is that most chapters were written jointly by authors originating from different laboratories and representing diverse points of view. It is 'must reading' for all who love synapses." -- George J. Augustine, Nature Neuroscience
