Neuroscience - Hardcover

Reviews of the 4th edition:

'Purves and his colleagues have produced a beautiful book, made more so by the exuberance of wonderful colour illustrations to accompany the very readable text. Even those areas of the subject such as ion channels and membrane receptors, often regarded as tedious by students, come to life by virtue of the illustrations and are a real pleasure to study....Without doubt, if I was starting out as a student again I would just love to have the opportunity of learning from this book.'

– Times Higher Education Textbook Guide, May 2008

'It is a fabulous book, beautifully illustrated and it whets my appetite for neuroscience even after 40 years in the field.'

– Rob Santer, Lecturer in Neuroscience, Cardiff University, UK
