Federal restrictions & funding freezes threaten vital research and halts scientific progress that benefits all Americans.

Join fellow #NeuroAdvocates in urging Congress to protect congressionally approved funding & ensure uninterrupted support for the scientific workforce.

a man wearing glasses is standing in front of a blackboard and says `` anyone ? '' . Alt: a man wearing glasses is standing in front of a blackboard and says `` anyone ? '' . This is a clip from the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, showing the scene where a teacher calls out attendance in front of an uninterested and disengaged class.

The illustrations/figures are beautiful and there are helpful resources for instructors and students. I served as Assessment Development Lead for this project and along with chapter authors and editors we put together a test bank with over 400 questions, (2/4)
