Conversations With Neil's Brain: The Neural Nature Of Thought And Language

The condition of the book is as described. Thank you very much, this is a really cool book and I wanted to have it. Conversations with Neil's brain is a very good read for everyone interested in neuroscience or in the brain aimed at the layperson. The digital version of the book is free and available online.

Best text on simplified sense transduction and neurosurgical ethics

It's hard to stick with this one. There's not much of a plot to draw you from chapter to chapter, and as instructional material, it drags out too much. Given learning as the objective for reading it, I'd rather just read something that cuts to the chase in a more overt, efficient, instructional manner.If you ever wondered what a friendly, open, unassuming neuroscientist or neurosurgeon might sound like if there were such a thing, you might read this to indulge that fantasy ;) These two authors have gone to great lengths to make their world accessible, which is a much appreciated effort by those of us in allied fields.

I read this book as part of my first neurobiology course and I thought it was just awesome. The book is written so that most people (not only undergraduate neurobiology majors) will be able to understand and appreciate it.It's an awesome book, which explains how the brain works by going through conversations between a surgeon and his curious patient.

This book describes a type of epilepsy surgery usingsubdural electrode grids prior to surgery. I underwentthe same surgery as described in this book. This bookis a very readable book that explains this kind of surgeryin understandable language to the average reader. A mustread for anyone with epilepsy.

CONVERSATIONS WITH NEIL'S BRAIN is a glossary of brain parts packaged as dialogue between Calvin and his imaginary friend, Neil.The reading experience reminds me of a psycho-physiology course I took 25 years ago. Some exciting brain research had been done, but the old moss-backed professor ignored everything newer than about 1960.Calvin forfeited an opportunity to add snap, crackle, and pop to his tedious and dull lecture about brain physiology. Exciting things are happening, and he ignored much of it to rehash stuff from the 40s & 50s.

Great. Thank you. A level resource for my daughter.
