Summary: CAVEAT (emptor): It's just the images!
Comment: I can't say much about the book. I skimmed through it, didn't find so much better stuff compared to, let's say, Kandel & Schwartz. I thought buying the "CD version" would give me a slim, searchable CD-ROM instead of another tome of neuroscience stuff. My fault.

On the other hand the leaflet of the CD-ROM states clearly "fundamental NEUROSCIENCE images". If anyone were to be blamed at all, it'd be me jumping to conclusions and maybe Amazon for not pointing out that it's a CD-ROM full of images (ca. 900 TIFs and some GIFs (<3%)). It's just the images, no legends etc. The viewer is Kudo. It displays thumbnails and seems to have problems keeping the aspect ration when enlarging the viewing window. (It will let you make slide shows, screen savers etc. But that's not exactly why I would by a publication on neuroscience).

Summary: Superb graphics cover neuroscience in electronic form
Comment: This CD comprises all the superb art from the Book. The art is in "jpeg" (*.jpg) format and can be "cut and pasted" into electronic slides. The book it comes from is a tour de force from leading researchers in the area of neuroscience. It is comprehensive in scope going from modern molecular and cellular neuroscience to cognitive and behavioral neuroscience. Includes strong sections on developmental neuroscience, sensory and motor neuroscience, and regulatory systems. Exceptional value for money. Suitable for teaching neuroscience at the graduate level (although it may also be suited for teaching advanced undergraduates and academic medical students and for presentations at professional symposia).
