The reason that this reader was dissatisfied with the book was not because it was a bad book, but because he picked up the wrong book for what he was interested in, namely cellular/molecular neuroscience, which this book is clearly not about. I regard this book more of a systems-based approach to neuroscience - the book attempts to give you a "gestalt" view of how the different functional subsystems work. For a more basic text, I'd advise you to read Bear's Neuroscience. For a more reductionist text, maybe you could read something like "From the Neuron to the Brain"
Oh, and I forgot to add, this is an excellent book for the purpose for which it was written.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent! Accessible, great graphics, good organization., July 29, 2001
As an undergraduate Psychobiology student, this text served me well in my Neuroscience course. In all honesty I never went. I just read this book. I got excellent marks in the class. As a serious slacker and bibliophile, I recommend this textbook for any like-minded student.
