Reviews
Lectures in Neuroscience aptly conveys the excitement of a field of research that's continually opening up new vistas. Yuste's style is easygoing, conversational, and often witty. -- Ralph Greenspan, associate director, Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind, UC San Diego Rafael Yuste, a leading neuroscientist and early advocate of the BRAIN Initiative, presents his stimulating view of the fundamental organization of the brain: circuits that convert predictions into actions. Focusing on the mammalian cerebral cortex, and emphasizing repeating patterns across sensory perception, action, and cognition, Yuste is enthusiastic, conversational, and opinionated. It's a book I wish I had read when making the transition from molecular genetics to neuroscience. -- Cori Bargmann, Torsten N. Wiesel Professor, The Rockefeller University
