The University of Pittsburgh Neuroscience Department uses this book as one of it's main textbooks. It is an interesting book, and One That I've used for years. This edition is in keeping with the other editions of the book, meaning, it is just as disorganized by chapters and topics as what it always. Even though many of the individual chapters are well-written and interesting, I get the feeling the whole thing was thrown together as fast as They Could get it out. Many Times When I am looking up information, I can not even go to a specific chapter and be sure I'll find it there ... I have to use the index in the back of the book. That is okay, but it is time-consuming and I think did students and educators would be better served if the book were more Carefully organized. It Should be Remembered That writing a book for Neuroscience is difficult at best, Because The information changes at least every three months ... so by the time a textbook gets to print, some of what theyhave Said is already out of date.
