What are the best introductory neuroscience textbooks?

07 July 2016 1 4K Report

As a member of Student Society for Neuroscience at University of Zagreb School of Medicine I am helping (together with other members) our professors to further improve the course "Fundamentals of Neuroscience". We are making a list of the best Neuroscience textbooks for undergraduate medical students.

What are the best textbooks in your opinion? What are the textbooks used at your university?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Jan

Bradley James Baker

Neuroscience edited by Purves. It is a very good text book and outstanding at explaining membrane potential.
