Cognition Brain and Consciousness 2/e: Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience

This is the fully revised and updated second edition of the very sucessful introductory textbook on cognitive
neuroscience. Written by two leading experts in the field, this textbook book takes a unique thematic approach to
introduce concepts of cognitive neurosciences, guiding students along a clear path to understand the latest findings
whether or not they have a background in neuroscience. New to this edition are Frontiers in Cognitive Neuroscience text
boxes; each one focuses on a leading researcher and their topic of expertise. There is a new chapter on Genes and
Molecules of Cognition, and all other chapters have been thoroughly revised, based on the most recent discoveries.
