About the Book
Now in its second edition, Brain Architecture is the continued exploration of how the brain works. It summarizes traditional views about brain structure-function organization clearly and comprehensively and elaborates a new four system network model of nervous system organization. Thoroughly updated and refreshingly clear, this is a must-read for anyone interested in the science of how the brain works. Oxford Clinical Neuroscience is a comprehens…

The components of the brain
Larry Swanson is one of the great neuroanatomists of the 20th/21st century. Often dismissed as anal-retentives, anatomists have something of a bad name but this is an unfair criticism. Understanding the function of an organ or device begins with mapping out clearly what are its component parts. Granted, this can be done tedious and fastidiously, but what sets Swanson and other great neuroanatomists aside is an ability to abstract general principles of brain organisation from the confusing myriad of detailed and often conflicting observations collected over the centuries. Swanson sees clearly and far, and constantly looks for the forest instead of focusing on the trees.This book is a welcome extension to Larry Swanson's academic articles, acting as an update and a comprehensive overview of his thinking on what are the component parts of the brain. The clarity exuded by Swanson's thinking and his wonderful writing make this a pleasure to read.The book has a fair amount of technical detail and is not exactly an easy read for the non-expert. I wouldn't call this a popular science book. Neuroanatomy and neurobiology are complex subjects; the lay reader may get a lot out of this book if he/she is prepared to put in the effort. But bedtime reading it is not. As an academic, this book is one of the pillars of my thinking and will constitute mandatory reading for courses I teach. A classic.
Only if you speak science !
Truly a great book for people with a very solid base in neuroscience. Not aimed at the lay audience, but well worth the effort. For anyone in a related field, this is a comprehensive conceptual framework for thinking about neural evolution that cannot be beat.
Great book, highly recommended!
Great book, amazing for those who want to understand better brain structure and how it works.
Five Stars
excelente libro, muy fácil de leer
A joy to read
Unlike pretty much every other book on this subject, this book is well written, progresses gently from the simple to the complex, defines all terms as it goes, and never loses the reader. A perfect book. Thank you, Dr. Swanson!
