Springer Handbook of Bio-/Neuro-Informatics

From the book reviews:

“This handbook is structured in 12 parts, covering a wide variety of notions associated with bio- and neuroinformatics … . The handbook is a valuable and timely resource, which can be used by undergraduates, postgraduates and established researchers. By presenting together a variety of (linked) approaches, it provides a fantastic source for bioinformaticians and neuroinformaticians alike.” (Irina Ioana Mohorianu, zbMATH, Vol. 1304, 2015)

“This is the very best of the encyclopedias and comprehensive book’s about both Medical, Molecular, Genetic, and Neural Informatics currently available. … this is a good textbook for graduate students as a Primer on Neurophysiology and Molecular Medicine. Professionals in these areas will find this book very useful in their daily work … . book is very well referenced at the end of each chapter discussion. … I am pleased to recommend this book to new researchers in the field.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, November,2014)
