chichiasanchen's review against another edition
Was supposed to read this for my UK personal statement but I ended up focusing on psycholinguistics instead of neuropsychology. Might try to finish reading it though.
jakemcc's review against another edition
4.0
This book gives good explanations to the reader who may not be incredibly (or at all) experienced with the brain and how it works. I found the science to be well explained. I do question how much I will retain since much of the language used and names of various regions were new to me and without reinforcement am guessing will be lost.
A good book to read if you aren't afraid of delving into areas of science with which you are probably not familiar. I left this book with a greater insight as to how the human brain (and animal brains) works which is what I entered wanting to know.
It did take me a while to read. I found myself needing to go slow and reread some paragraphs as the sheer number of new terms could be somewhat overwhelming.
