Imagine having access from your computer to a 12-volume encyclopedia covering virtually every idea and fact about the brain! The online version of the Encyclopedia of Neuroscience published by Academic Press and available from the VCU Libraries is an authoritative source of information that is accessible 24x7. Editor and former President of the Society for Neuroscience, Larry Squire, has gathered recognized leaders and experts in the field to prepare articles on nearly 1500 topics. Most of the entries are self-contained reviews that can be read as independent articles. Extensive cross-referencing and dynamic linking to referenced journal articles can increase the scope of your research quickly. Each of the entries in this compendium can be viewed, downloaded or printed in their original format.
Speaking about the breadth and depth of the work, Larry Squire says, “Neuroscience is still a developing field, but the Encyclopedia will have succeeded if it conveys the considerable promise that neuroscience offers for conquering the diseases that affect the nervous system and for understanding the brain, the mind, and ourselves.” Encyclopedia of Neuroscience can now be accessed through the VCU Libraries Catalog.
