5.0 out of 5 stars An essential book for any neuroscience based scientist, 23 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Neural Science (Hardcover)
Absolutely brilliiant!! This is the most comprehensive, all-in-one neuroscience textbook on the market. The now Nobel Laureate, Kandel, takes the reader from the very basic molecular details of neurotransmitters and electrophysiology to the higher order behavioural functions of humans and the whole spectrum of neurological disorders... not forgetting ANYTHING in between. Whether used for occasional referencing or as a student Bible by undergarduates, this book has everything you need, and much more. The book is logically laid out and each chapter is fully referenced if the reader wants to delve deeper. Thoroughly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars You won't get tired of reading this book.., 20 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Neural Science (Hardcover)
This book has an EXCELLENT way to explain how the brain works, also presenting many experimental examples. It's excellent if you want to get a deeper knowledge of neuro physiology. Having already a basic neuroanatomy knowledge helps understanding better some points.

4.0 out of 5 stars highly informative, 2 Jun 2004
This review is from: Principles of Neural Science (Hardcover)
This textbook is one of the most highly recommended on my course, extremely usefulfor a student with a large budget for buying books. Has lots of information on a wide variety of fields in neural science and physiology but is a little large to carry around everywhere aswell as being a little wordy and extremely expensive. Probably best to check it out in the library
