 Huge on content and good value despite the lofty price tag. August 3, 1999
This one weighs a ton! You feel like you get value for money for the sheer volume of paper you get. This hard bound text covers a wide range for topics. Loads of content, and the heavy price is offset by the fact that it contains the content of several smaller and almost equally expensive books. Only recomended for those doing a fair bit of neuroscience (or the keenly interested).
Excellent reference text June 3, 1999
In my undergraduate neural science class we used the essentials of neural science - an abridged version of this text. The shortened version provides plenty of information for an undergraduate level course and perhaps even for medical school. In medical school, however, I used this text, The Principles, and was pleasantly surprised that was no more difficult to follow that the "simplified" version that I had used previously. I really enjoy this book and plan to use it for many years as a reference. It is truly unfortunate, however, that Prof. Ron Calabrese did not have the opportunity to infuse this text with a little of his own personal flavor!
Excellent for physiological psychology students February 19, 1999
I found this text very useful while conducting research in behavioral pharmacology. This text is the bible of neural science. I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE THE PURCHASING OF THIS TEXT.
 A Comprehensive Reference February 7, 1999
A great book for those really interested in the neurosciences. This is a bit too detailed for the average medical student, but a great source of information for those truly interested in the neurosciences. I have often found it useful as a reference.
 Outdated and Dense November 23, 1998
As a medical student taking a basic neuroscience course, save your money. I found the text to be generally low yield for USMLE preparation. In all fairness however, this text is (or was) the "gold standard" - but that doesn't necessarily make it a good text for medical students.
