Neurobiology; The Human Brain, book and CD-ROM

Neurobiology:
This is an introductory text to the science of neurobiology, as taught by The Open University in the United Kingdom, a distance learning institution. No previous knowledge of neurobiology is assumed. The subject matter is extensively illustrated in clear, two-colour diagrams, and each chapter ends with a list of learning objectives and questions. Unlike many other neurobiology texts, considerable discussion is given to both human and non-human nervous systems. Written in an easystyle, it will be useful for both biology and medical students.B
The Human Brain:
Both students and non-scientists will find this CD-ROM an enjoyable introduction to the human brain. The 6 sections ("chapters") cover the structure and function of the brain substructure, including sections on hearing, vision and speech. The final section shows different techniques for studying the brain. The voice-over gives guidance in the pronunciation of latin names of various brain substructures and the self-testing function allows a continual assessment of understanding. The textbook Robinson "Neurobiology" can be used in conjunction with the CD-ROM. Both students and interested non-scientists will find this CD an enjoyable introduction to the human brain. The voice-over gives guidance in the pronunciation of the latin names of various brain substructures and the self-testing function allows a continuous assessment of understanding.
