Great book for my cellular biology of the nervous system class
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Excellent textbook, explains very well the terms it presents while on the same time is a very easy to read book. It seemed much easier for me to read and comprehend what we learned in class with "the Neuron" in comparison to our designated textbook, which was also very good but less enjoyable.

Neuron details

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.
Great book on all levels

"The Neuron" was a fantastic book to read. It served as a perfect mesh between a textbook and a novel. The book was written in plain english so anyone could enjoy it. The concepts discussed ranged from elementary to advanced which provided a nice progression to more complicated things. This book is a must read for anyone interested in neuroscience.
Very readable

I have compared several neurobiology textbooks and this one is my favorite. It's almost like a novel, very enjoyable. It emphasizes understanding of important concepts rather than throwing an overwhelming amount of facts at the students. And the organization of the material is great. There is an updated edition now, and I look forward to reading it.
