Isidore Gormezano, Edward A. Wasserman

"...this is a well-produced and expertly edited volume, with several interesting and potentially influential chapters....useful to behavioral scientists and others looking for a means of quickly appraising the issues in what has become a labyrinthine neuroscience literature."—The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology
