The perfect introduction to neuroscience - ideal for understanding and learning For many years, this didactically well thought-out, comprehensibly written and excellently illustrated introduction has ranked internationally among the leading textbooks in the field of neuroscience. This modern basic work is aimed equally at students of biology, medicine, and psychology. The German edition, again edited by Andreas Engel, has been adapted to the local study situation and expanded in places. It covers everything from brain anatomy to sensory physiology, from developmental biology to behavior, from nervous system disorders to cognitive science, from molecular mechanisms to new imaging techniques. A stand-alone "Pictorial Atlas of Human Neuroanatomy" allows the learner to expand his or her knowledge of the brain.
