Rating: Summary: Great book on all levels Review: I have compared several neurobiology textbooks and this one is my favorite. It's almost like a novel, very enjoyable. And the organization of the material is great. There is an updated edition now, and I look forward to reading it.
Rating: Summary: I'm worry! Review: I'm worry because you have my money five weeks ago, and I haven't the book.
Rating: Summary: Neuron details Review: The molecular biology of the neuron is considered, from its electrical properties, synapses, differentiation, axon pathfinding, to chapters concluding with behavior and memory. Well written and includes easy to follow schematic diagrams, this reference is suitable for the motivated general reader.
Rating: Summary: A beautiful text Review: This is one of the few molecular neurobiology textbooks available to the serious student. Overall, it is a very well written text, up to date, and quite detailed. There is one weird quality about the book, however: the authors have not directly referenced statements in the book, as you would expect to find in any good advanced textbook in a scholarly field. They have instead written a bibliography at the very end, consisting of "Recommended Reading" and "References" for each chapter. I am unsure what criteria they used to differentiate the two. Other than this minor point however, it's a first rate buy. The authors deserve several pats on their backs.
