Reviews
In my view, The Central Nervous System is perhaps one of the most important books for students of neuroscience at all levels to own. If youre not a student, but you work in a field related to neuroscience, this book should be required reading. I would certainly recommend it without reservation. * Richard Vogel, The Neurodiagnostic Journal *
