Since this edition is brand new at this writing, I’m taking the time to compare it to the wonderful third edition of the same text. The reason is simple: the old edition is now available for $3 US used, and the new is over $110. Even a completely sealed, code unused with CD of the third can be had for under $20 US from marketplace sellers from time to time, so the cost investment difference is significant.
Two reasons why some might try to sell you on this vs. the third: 1. It is for a class and the teacher insists that some of the exercises or animations are more up to date here or 2. You agree with the publisher that a "lot" has happened in Neuroscience since 2006.
I’ve gone page for page over the exercises, and unless your teacher is a real butthead, or paid by the publisher, they really are not that different in this edition! Besides, this is NOT a deeply technical text, it is a very student friendly overview that actually is a real pleasure to read. The authors are such good writers, that it reads like a novel, and both editions have been praised for making reading/studying a dopamine studded pleasurable experience, not a painful chore.
As far as all the new science: well, hmmm. There IS a lot of new research, which you can look up on the web. BUT, the genome stuff, and functional MRI, were abundantly present 9 years ago, and the fine illustrations in the Third (as well as this) can’t be much improved by animation. The requests for "internalization" of brain images were not really changed in this edition, and the online material is updated, but the third’s online is/was so good, as well as the CD for you auditory folk, that it was a hard act to follow.
