This book lacks fine detail, especially with respect to electrophysiology, computational approaches and molecular neuroscience.

Love Neuroscience and this textbook was interesting to read but I think it needed more helpful summary of the end of the chapters or quizzes.Admittedly this would be very difficult to draw correctly, but then again, real anatomical dimorphism is less consistent than this, that's a valid excuse.

Although I hadn't thoroughly read through other textbooks for a fair comparison, I found the short stories and 'paths to discovery' to be exciting and inspiring, and they were sprinkled all throughout the textbook. The authors' passion for the dynamic field of neuroscience is evident on every page, engaging students and helping them master the material. Sheridan Award for Distinguished Contributions to Teaching and Learning, and the Undergraduate Council of Students Award for Excellence in Teaching.The new Fourth Edition has been fully updated to reflect these and other rapid advances in the field, while honoring its commitment to be student-friendly with striking new illustrations, additional animations, and an unparalleled array of online resources. Acclaimed for its clear, friendly style, excellent illustrations, leading author team, and compelling theme of exploration, Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain, 4e takes a fresh, contemporary approach to the study of neuroscience, emphasizing the biological basis of behavior. We also use different external services like Google Webfonts, Google Maps, and external Video providers. In general terms, the concepts are explained extraordinarily well and in an arrangement that gradually builds an understanding of the underlying cellular mechanics so the reader (astoundingly) doesn't find themselves over their heads when later chapters paint the broader pictures of memory and learning.

However, I don’t recommend it for postgraduate studies because it, to a limited extent, lacks some basic and crucial details.
