The new and rapidly evolving field of cognitive neuroscience brings together cognitive psychology and neuroscience, drawing conceptual and technical elements from both these traditional disciplines. This union has been motivated by the exciting possibility of better understanding complex human brain functions that have puzzled thinkers for centuries. The emergence of cognitive neuroscience as a discipline in its own right over the last two decades is thus an expression of what many see as the next logical step for both neuroscience and cognitive psychology, driven by powerful new methods for studying the human brain.Principles of Cognitive Neuroscience, introduced in 2008, was written to inform readers at all levels about the growing canon of cognitive neuroscience, and to make clear the many challenges that remain to be solved. Now, in this Second Edition, the authors--all leaders in the field--offer what is in essence a completely new book:The 28 chapters of the original edition have been condensed and combined to 15 chapters for the new edition.The condensation makes the topics covered easier to assimilate, and better suited to presentation in a single-semester course.Each chapter has been updated to address the latest developments in the field, including expanded coverage of genetics, evolution, and neural development.Introductory Boxes in each chapter take up an especially interesting issue to better capture readers' attention.An appendix reviews the major features of human neuroanatomy and basic aspects of neural signaling.As before, this edition includes an extensive glossary of key terms. And, with every copy, we offer a fully upgraded version of Sylvius 4 Online, which includes an interactive tutorial on human neuroanatomy as well as a magnetic resonance imaging atlas of the human brain.

Product description

Review

"This textbook is an ideal introductory text for advanced undergraduates or graduate students studying cognitive neuroscience. I applaud the authors for creating a book that is not only educational but also enjoyable to read--something that cannot be said about most textbooks. Any instructor of an introductory cognitive neuroscience course, advanced and inquisitive undergraduate, or beginning researcher will likely find this text to be a valuable resource."--Amber Baysinger, Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine

Angemessen detailliert für mein Studium

Reviewed in Germany on 25 October 2018

Verified Purchase

Ich benötige das Buch für mein Psychologie Studium. Dafür ist der Inhalt angemessen detailliert, sehr ausführlich und verständlich geschrieben. Dazu stark bebildert, was das Verständnis zusätzlich erleichtert.
Das einzig nervige ist die Struktur. Die Reihenfolgen der Inhalte innerhalb eines Themas ist sehr unübersichtlich, sodass man innerhalb eines Kapitels immer wieder hin- und herblättern muss.

This book was a must to get me through the neuroscience aspect of my psychology degree. The information is so clearly explained with images to support the text. Very much recommended if you struggle understanding the more complicated concepts of the brain.
