Hello All:
Several weeks back someone on the CSGnet recommended a recent book as an
excellent introduction to "the brain," or current neuroscience research. I
inadvertently discarded the post and would appreciate a repetition of the
author and title.
Thanks
Clark

Several relatively new introductions are quite good.
