Recenzje

'Horvitz and Jacobs set the stage well in the first two chapters, providing the essentials of brain structure and neural function that allow students to explore the core biopsychological processes that are presented in later chapters (such as topics that range from the basics of movement and sensing the world to higher cognitive function). By stripping away non-essential details, the authors provide a readable and engaging text for students.' Professor Cindy J. Lahar, University of South Carolina–Beaufort
