From Neuron to Brain是神经科学创始人，哈佛大学的Kuffler和他的两个学生
写的。他自己没有得诺贝尔奖，因为他过早的去世了，所以诺贝尔奖给了他的
两个学生。这本书的中文版翻的不好，不过翻译的人还比较牛，是北大的张人骥
教授夫妇，他们夫妇曾经是Kuffler学生的学生，张先生本人是解放前清华生物系
毕业的。这本书好像是神经课的教材，不过课讲得好象没有这本书好。
第四版的from neuron to brain，改动很大，增加了很多系统和发育
方面的内容，变成一本比较全面的导论书了，比Kandel的书篇幅小，容易看。
"An obvious inference from history is that approaches to the treatment
of diseases often arise unexpectedly from experiments devoted to quite
different questions. Further, an increase of natural knowledge on its own
is a worthy objective, for without it, logical approaches to prevention and
treatment of neurological problems can be only partially realized. In this
context, it is almost impossible to define the 'relevance' of any
particular project at the time it is undertaken. Indeed, when asked about
the 'significance' of a research plan, complete honesty usually requires a
very simple answer: 'Don't know!'
"Quite apart from the treatment of disease, the dividends that can
accrue for society as a result of understanding the development and the
functions of the nervous system are beyond today's imagination."
