"Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain surveys the organization and function of the human nervous system. We present material at the cutting edge of neuroscience in a way that is accessible to both science and nonscience students alike. The level of the material is comparable to an introductory college text in general biology. The book is divided into four parts: Part I, Foundations; Part II, Sensory and Motor Systems; Part III, The Brain and Behavior; and Part IV, The Changing Brain. We begin Part I by introducing the modern field of neuroscience and tracing some of its historical antecedents. Then we take a close look at the structure and function of individual neurons, how they communicate chemically, and how these building blocks are arranged to form a nervous system. In Part II, we go inside the brain to examine the structure and function of the systems that serve the senses and command voluntary movements. In Part III, we explore the neurobiology of human behavior, including motivation, sex, emotion, sleep, language, attention, and mental illness. Finally, in Part IV, we look at how the environment modifies the brain, both during development and in adult learning and memory"--Provided by publisher.… (meer)
This book provides an excellent glimpse into neuroscience. Though the book may seem complex at times, it still provides a clear understanding of important brain functions such as metacognition and neuroplasticity. ( )
I used this book in my undergrad introduction to neuroscience class it covers all the basics of neuroscience, brain function, physiology, anatomy, mental illnesses etc. It is a very good text book not as detailed as others but for being introduced into neuroscience you can't find a better book ( )
Disclaimer: I used this book as part of a three-week course on Neuroscience the summer before I started 9th grade; I do not know how to judge it as an actual textbook for a real undergraduate course.
That said, I love this book! It's easy to read, has great diagrams and funny stories (yay for Phineas Gage!), and is well-organized. If you want a rigorous yet itnroductory and over-arching introduction to the human brain, then this is the book for you. The binding is sub-par, though; the cover on mine has almost completely separated from the rest of the book. ( )

Men ought to know that from nothing else but the brain come joys, delights, laughter and sports, and sorrows, griefs, despondency, and lamentations. And by this, in an especial manner, we acquire wisdom and knowledge, and see and hear and know what are foul and what are fair, what are bad and what are good, what are sweet and what are unsavory…. And by the same organ we become mad and delirious, and fears and terrors assail us….All these things we endure from the brain when it is not healthy….In these ways I am of the opinion that the brain exercises the greatest power in the man. - Hippocrates, On the Sacred Disease (Fourth century B.C.E.)

For over 30 years, we have taught a course called Neuroscience 1: An Introduction to the Nervous System. [Preface, Fourth Edition]
It is human nature to be curious about how we see and hear: why some tings feel good and others hurt; how me move; how we reason, learn, remember, and forget; and the nature of anger and madness. [Fourth Edition]

Can basic neuroscience research take us from ions to intelligence? From calcium to cognition? If you remember what you have learned in this textbook, and if synaptic plasticity truly is the basis of declarative memory, it would appear that the answer is yes. [Fourth Edition]
