I bought this text for a Biological Psychology text, not expecting the class to be much more neuroscience focused. If that is what you like, then this text is great for you! For those who aren't as experienced in the biological sciences, the text could be intimidating at first, but you will grow used to it. The material is challenging and in-depth, but, for the most part, the text relies on clear and relatively brief explanations. The graphics are very helpful, as are the descriptions.
I bought this book for a graduate level brain and behavior class. For me, it has been like learning a new language, and the authors present good analogies to understand this complex subject. The accompanying DVD is very helpful in complementing the text to understand brain structure. There are 7 videos to choose from within the DVD; I wish there were more. Color images in the text are also effective.
When I first read about the book I thought it would be very difficult for me to understand since it is my first book in Neuroscience. But I was rather surprised, the book is very organized and explains everything in a way that everybody can understand. I love it.

Ive only read a little of the book but I can tell its going to be an imformative and possibly easy read. The book has diagrams of the brain which is helpful. I had to buy this book for my Neuroscience class as a junior.
Its a required textbook what more to say? It is pretty comprehensive and good for a textbook. Text and pictures are both good for learning about neuroscience.
