THE HUMAN BRAIN is a single-authored, core introductory neuroscience text that describes the structure and function of the brain and nervous system. The text covers the neuroanatomy that medical and other healthcare students need, with expanded coverage of neurophysiology and inclusion of clinical content providing real-life application of neuroanatomy and neurophysiologic concepts to clinical neurologic disorders. Its readability and enhanced full-color illustrations make it a favorite among both students and faculty.

The illustrations are nothing less than stunning, and the text is clear and well written as well. It's more readable than many texts on the subject that I've suffered through over the years. The area of functional neuroanatomy is one of the most interesting areas because of the obvious practical applications, and so it's easier to motivate the... more info
