"The Cognitive Neurosciences III is a magnificent accomplishment. It covers topics from ions to consciousness, from reflexes to social psychology. It is authoritative and encyclopedic, but also lively and unafraid of controversy. Michael Gazzaniga, The MIT Press, and the community of cognitive neuroscientists are to be congratulated for assembling this landmark of twentieth-century science and thrilling preview of what we will learn in the twenty-first."
—Steven Pinker, Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, author of The Blank Slate, How the Mind Works, and Words and Rules
"Successful third editions of large reference works must be reliable sources for their field, and Gazzaniga's The Cognitive Neurosciences certainly is, authored by a remarkable group of contributors. But this book is far more: it is full of exciting chapters touching on such newly important fields as adult neurogenesis, and it embraces controversy where appropriate. In my view, this already superb text has only gotten better."
—Steven E. Hyman, Provost, Harvard University, and Professor of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School
"To me, this book redefines the idea of comprehensiveness in a reference work. For the cognitive neuroscientist, it provides the latest in integrative cellular and system work. For the neuroscientist who wants to grasp cognitive functions and mechanisms, it offers a thoroughly up-to-date picture of the field."
—Floyd E. Bloom, Chairman, Department of Neuropharmacology, The Scripps Research Institute
