"This is a useful tool for any student studying neuroscience and neuroanatomy. The author does an excellent job of maintaining a narrative approach to the material, as well as breaking down the complex material in a manner that is conducive to student learning. The book provides a unique focus on the human brain and is an important addition to the neuroscience literature.

The book divides complex material up into multiple chapters to ease student anxiety. The appendixes are very useful and provide a comprehensive quiz, answers to the chapter questions, and blank drawings to aid in student learning.

Designed for upper level anatomy and physiology students as well as premedical students, this book goes into detail that is not seen in 100 and 200 level undergraduate courses. The author is considered an expert in the area of neuroscience. Weighted Numerical Score: 94 - 4 Stars!" -- Jill E. Feinstein, M.S.(Richland Community College), from Doody’s Reviews
