This text provides the most authoritative introduction to the brain, covering its structure, function, development, and control of behavior. It offers a comprehensive summary of the current state of scientific knowledge, as well as historical issues related to the study of the brain. The book thoroughly discusses neuroanatomy, cell and molecular mechanisms, signaling processes, and developmental factors from a cognitive perspective on behavior.

In this updated edition, the book has been revised and now features a new full-color art program for greater ease of use. The text also includes expanded coverage of the development of the nervous system, the genetic basis of neurological and psychiatric illnesses, the cognitive neuroscience of perception, and ion channel mechanisms.
