gib65 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I'm looking for some good easy-to-read books on brain anatomy and functionality. Something that explains clearly (for an average educated person) what parts of the brain are responsible for what functions. Can anyone help me out here? PS - websites might do just as well as books.

ashennell Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Principles of Neural Science, Eric R. Kandel This is a fat book. It was recommended in the first year of my neuroscience degree. There may be better out there now. It is well written and should be OK for a newcomer as long as you have some basic knowledge of biology. It covers low-level stuff like firing in individual neurons as well as gross structure/function issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glider Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 The Kandel book is very good. I'd recommend that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
