Summary: Great Neuroscience Book
Review: I just finished using this book for an undergraduate course in neuroscience. It was one of the best biology books I have ever obtained. I have since read the sections the course did not have the time to cover and enjoyed them all. The figures are excellent and greatly aid in your learning. The authors are even somewhat comical at some points. In all, I would highly recommend this book for the introductory neuroscientist!

Summary: USE study group
Review: Our university's neuroscience study group use this book with CD-ROM. best colourful image and figures and powerful use CD-ROM study neuroanatomy.if your study group explorer neuroscience books, this book help you.

Summary: Not a definitive resource
Review: This book has had praise heaped upon it by previous reviewers. I'd like to put that in perspective. As an undergraduate text or a general encyclopedic reference for the unitiated, this book is reasonably comprehensive and contains substantial high-quality illustrations. However as a reference for more advanced students, there is insufficient detail to motivate serious discussion. I find "Principles of Neural Science" by Kandel, Schwartz, and Jessell far more useful despite being a year older than Bear, et al. If the goal is to lift artwork for a pleasingly graphical PowerPoint presentation, this book is a fantastic resource, but if you want more than jargon and an introduction to the topic (albeit comprehensive), I'd look elsewhere.

Summary: Great Neuroscience Book
Review: This book is a great introduction to neuroscience, and a good review of the field for those who need to brush up on basic knowledge. I majored in neuroscience at Brown University, and am now a graduate student in the field, and I still occasionally use this book as a quick reference. The figures are one of the best features of this book.

Summary: Excellent for Fundamental Knowledge of Neuroscience
Review: This book was key for me in undergraduate neurobiology work, and even as a great supplement for graduate studies. It breaks down the neurological system in a clear, concise, and simple method, using excellent diagrams, illustrations. It actually simplifies neuroscience and I found it easier to understand than some of my more in-depth graduate books.

Summary: Ideal for an overview of neuroscience.
Review: This textbook is used as the primary text for introductory neuroscience at Brown University, which is one of the best classes at the college. The authors all are professors and experts in the field and make the study of neuroscience come alive in this text. The subjects range from chemical and molecular neurobiology to sleep, from memory to vision to auditory systems to language processing. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in knowing how the brain and nervous system work.

Summary: One of the best for beginners in Neuroscience
Review: This title is the best I have come across and is most suitable for beginners in neuroscince who have no background in biology. Once you start reading the book it is almost difficult to put it away unless you finish the book.
