Here is an excellent (and free) introduction to brain function from the Society for Neuroscience. It describes the neurotransmitters, how neurons communicate, and lots of other stuff.

Highly recommended:

iTunes has a bunch of Introduction to Neuroscience courses available, too. The lecturers recorded themselves and put themselves on iTunes; they're modern-day saints as far as I'm concerned.

Very interesting, exactly what I've been looking for.
The font in the document is very irritating; the t's are to small, disrupting my fast reading. Does anyone else have this font problem in this document?

Any parents out there--(or if you have some kids you correspond with as a mentor or family member) --send them this link with games to teach neuroscience for kids! (very cool site!)

Zoom in.

Here's a site that has some great interesting facts on the human brain that will get the kids interested in the brain.
