Recensione
'This textbook presents an exciting, well-informed, and well-written discussion of brain mechanisms of learning and memory processes.'
- John Byrnes, Ph.D. Tufts University of Medicine, University of Massachusetts, Boston, USA
'The greatest strength of this text is the constant use of relatable real world examples. Many other texts talk mainly about rats and do not relate topics to everyday life. Another strength is the blending of basic learning with brain substrates and clinical applications. Few texts do this.'
- M. Todd Allen, Ph.D., University of Northern Colorado, USA
