An excellent text

This textbook is an excellent introduction to cognitive neuroscience and human neuropsychology. It integrates what is known (2004) about cortical control of cognitive processes with the strategies the cortical hemispheres can utilize in problem solving. The text also deals, I think fairly, with current issues in cognitive science that have yet to be fully resolved. The text assumes little prior knowledge, and is clearly written. Although the topics include neuroanatomical terms beyond the ordinary, they are almost always explained clearly so that students can follow the important issues. I have used it three times in courses that I have taught and would hope that the text will be updated to remain current so that I may do so again.
