"For the instructor of Introduction to Neuroscience or Neurobiology courses with students who are intimidated by the study of the brain, our textbook From Neuron to Brain is designed to present difficult material on the nervous system through the process of experimentation. Lines of research are followed from the inception of an idea to new findings being made in laboratories and clinics today, allowing students to follow the path of experimentation toward an understanding of how the nervous system works. Nicholls et al. have built a readable and informative text that explains how nerve cells go about their business of transmitting signals, how the signals are put together, and how higher function emerges from this integration, all in an accessible and exciting way that will appeal to students. From Neuron to Brain, Sixth Edition and its exploration of the intricate workings of the nervous system will be of interest to instructors teaching undergraduate, graduate, and medical school courses in neuroscience"-
