Good for a preclinical medical course (I used it as a suppliment to my regular course book in med school); I suppose this would also be suitable for a graduate medical text or possibly an advanced undergraduate book. The illustrations are very good. This book deals only with human neuroscience, and takes a somewhat clinical approach in the last 25% & special focus "boxes" typical of the textbook genre; but it's focus is neurophysiology, not pathophysiology or disease mechanisms. This book is firmly seated in 1st year territory (or when one learns about "normal" body functions). Given its intent for medical students, this is perfectly reasonable. The text is highly readable; though not light. Subject matter is treated in balanced detail; structure-function correlates and mechnaisms of motor control are emphasized. Also, much attention is given to neuroelectrophysiology (as is necessary for a book of this scope). There is no need for prior neuroscience knowledge: this starts at the beginning. However, you will need a solid foundation in chemistry, biology (esp. human neuroanatomy), and microbiology at the undergraduate level.Read full review
This is a comprehensive book that covers the topic of Neurology. It contains post graduate information. Most likely a contemporary textbook.

I used this txt as a Neurobio major. Even TA's stated book is superbly written. Info isn't simplistic, but enough resources provided to make it very affordable to utilize and reference.
