More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The second edition of "Cognitive Neuroscience" strengthens the text's interdisciplinary approach to understanding how the human mind works by introducing over 400 new citations and two new chapters. This volume also features increased coverage of computational modelling, discussions of prominent methodological advances and an enhanced art programme. Throughout the text, clinical case studies anchor science to the realm of human experience. These narratives - which explore disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease - invite students to consider realities behind the scientific research. This undergraduate text reinforces central concepts with a variety of pedagogical elements, including: chapter-opening vignettes; key terms; thought-provoking questions; chapter summeries; suggested readings; and a glossary. Feature boxes such as "Milestones in Cognitive Neuroscience", "How the Brain Works" and "The Cognitive Neuroscientist's Toolkit", highlight cognitive neuroscience in action.

Format:Hardcover
I have used this book during my psychology degree and have found it a great book to read. It explains complicated biological ideas in a coherent and easy to read manner. I would definately recommend this book to anyone interested in neuroscience at any level. All encompassed in a well presented and well thought through account of cognitive neuroscience with the added bonus of interviews with other prestigious researchers in the area.

Format:Paperback
this book is perfect to anyone who studies cognitive neuroscience in advanced level. There is a lot of references regarding very recent research as well as some of the classic studies that. The book is written in very easy to understand language and fantastically explains even very difficult concepts.

Format:Paperback
The outside back cover of the book and also page xviii both advertise: "Instructor's neuroscience media DVD two-disc set."
The publisher has stated that "The references merely state that there is an Instructor's DVD set available. It does not say the DVDs come with the book! Most of our textbooks have references similar to this. The references cannot be removed as Instructor's looking to adopt it would need to see what resources are available."
