Neuroscience (reading material and grad school programs?)

[d3nat]

Hi,

Over the past year, I've started finding the field of neuroscience very interesting.

Can anyone recommend any books for a complete newbie on the field?

And just out of curiosity, what graduate schools have good neuroscience/neurophysics programs?

This is an extremely interesting subject! My favorite books are Thomas Metzingers The Ego Tunnel and Christof Koch The Quest for Consciousness. Both are fairly readable, but require some effort.
