Cognitive Neuroscience

This is a fairly clearly written, concise overview of a vast and fast- expanding field. Kindle ed. is correctly formatted. Well illustrated. Index is easy to use.

I've read a lot of "introductions" to neuroscience, and this one is by far the best. It also arrived on time, in perfect condition.

Like previous editions, Banich and Compton have written a highly readable introduction to the field. Strengths of the text include interesting case studies, excellent illustrations, and up to date coverage of most areas discussed. One notable shortcoming is a lack of presentation and discussion of the major brain networks (such as the default more network) in any comprehensive or systematic framework. This is very surprising in light of the massive amount of research currently being conducted in this area. Interested readers may want to read the latest edition of Kolb and Whishaw for another perspective.

So far I am enjoying the quality of the book (from a student's perspective, not professor), and appreciate that the edition includes references to publications as recent as 2017 (since this edition is from 2018). One small problem has been that the paperback version does not have some of the figures described as being on the inside covers of the textbook. While certain figures are described well enough to find online fairly quickly, this is a problem I hope is resolved in future editions of the book (or is at least described as only being in the hardcover copy).

Way too much info for one book/class. And it's already been outdated inside a year.

The book is really good and cover most of the cognitive neuroscience topics but I this edition it has many logical mistakes like wrong functions of the specific brain structure which is quite annoying.

Excellent bouquin, plein d'illustrations, tous est abordé de manière assez approfondie, tout ce qu'on attend d'un livre de cette dimension ( format encyclopédie, c'est un gros livre !) Seul hic c'est dans la langue de Shakespeare.. si vous ne lisez pas couramment cette langue passez votre chemin car c'est très technique et complexe...

Completo. Adatto per lo studio della materia preferita

After only two weeks I haven't come close to reading it all, but from topics I have looked up, it is excellent. I have done some grad neuroscience and wanted more about function and behaviour. This book fills that want. I could have bought Klob and Wishaw, who used to be at the same university as I, but it is so much more expensive and as said, this book fills the gap I wanted to fill. Excellent paper, printing and binding. Excellent value.

I never would have purchased this book if it wasn't a requirement for one of my classes. The content is not strait forward or organized. The summaries are far too short and do not include each sub-topic covered. I have read several textbooks and this was by far the worst.
