Brain Architecture: Understanding the Basic Plan (38165) Larry W. Swanson
"This short book deserves wide readership. It could serve both as a general introduction for the undergraduate and as a means to widen one's horizon for the experienced researcher." Jan Voogd in Science "I was pleasantly surprised by the comparative and evolutionary approach used to introduce the major concepts, and I was drawn in by the historical context in which the story is told… a clearly written and logically organized
overview of the major functional subdivisions of the vertebrate nervous system… Swanson's writing style and his ability to present complicated systems and relationships will make the book particularly accessible to students, and generally useful to anyone interested in the neurosciences… A commendable job distilling the essential principles from an exceptionally complex subject, making the brevity of this book one of its greatest strengths."
