This book was probably written origninally for medical students for which it is well suited. It is also quite useful for othe medical professionals. The graphics are outstanding and the format of presenting each subject on 2 pages with numerous graphics is quite ready friendly. The main strength of this book is the depiction of neuroanatomy and (though somewhat less) the description of neurophysiology. There are also sections on "mind" subjects such as consciousness and memory which, though presenting the likely anatomic sites of these phenomena well, is relatively superficial otherwise.
