We now have electronic access to the Encyclopedia of Neuroscience, edited by Larry R. Squire (Elsevier, 2009), courtesy of the Becker Medical Library. According to the publisher, this extensive reference work (10 volumes and 10,500 pages in print):
explores all areas of the discipline in its focused entries on a wide
variety of topics in neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry and other
related areas of neuroscience. Each article is written by an expert in
that specific domain and peer reviewed by the advisory board before
acceptance into the encyclopedia. Each article contains a glossary,
introduction, a reference section, and cross-references to other
related encyclopedia articles. Written at a level suitable for
university undergraduates, the breadth and depth of coverage will
appeal beyond undergraduates to professionals and academics in related
fields.
We also have online access to the Encyclopedia of Neuroscience edited by Marc D. Binder, Nobutaka Hirokawa, and Uwe Windhorst (Springer, 2009). This is about half the size of the Elsevier encyclopedia: it has more entries, but they are, in general, substantially shorter.
