A great lecturer. Extremely clear, interesting, and helpful. You need to put in the work, but it was one of the most interesting and fun classes I have ever taken. He does not take attendance but you must show up to class.

Glimcher is an amazing lecturer. Very intelligent and clear, tells you exactly what you need to know. Helped me build a strong foundation in neuroscience. Don't underestimate the material, it's hard and there's a lot of it, but he makes it interesting. It's not enough to memorize, you have to know how to use it practically. TA's also very helpful.

Best class I've taken. Don't really understand why people say his exams are so hard. They're not. Study hard and you'll do really, really well.

Amazing. His classes have crystalized my decision to become a neuroscientist. He teaches in a way that reminds us to be critical of scientific fact and to pursue knowledge in hopes of understanding the beauty of our complex and coincidental existence. I look forward to his lectures every week. And you will get a good grade if you engage yourself.

Glimcher is a great professor and has a good outlook on life. I recommend him as a professor, but just a heads up, the course is very difficult. I did not do well by any means. It is kind of a "GPA killer" course because the difficult final exam was 50% of the grade, but if you can take that blow, you may find the class worth it.

I have Glimcher for Intro to Neural and I can confidently say that he is the best professor that I have ever had. He is an asset to NYU and I hope he never leaves. He is engaging and funny and kind. I have never missed a class and never wanted to. The material is difficult but manageable. Take this class. You will not regret it. Even if you fail.

Challenging but I love love this class. Glimcher makes Neural Science so enjoyable. I never missed a class. And he is very encouraging when it comes to grades and he will help you out if you're having trouble understanding the lectures. TIP: Read the book, take notes, keep the handouts (use it when studying), talk to TAs, work really hard. Worth it

Really nice, but if you're looking to complete your NatSci, you're taking the harder way out. Brain and Behavior=impossible material, although he's clearly a bright man who wants you to do well. Unless you happen to be a science person, Glimcher is not the NatSci professor for you.

I took his brain and behavior class and although I don't like science, he really tries to make it clear and interesting for all of us. Glimcher is a really funny and easygoing guy. TAs are good. The only "homework" is reading the textbook. There's no quizzes or papers.

Glimcher made the most confusing topic understandable. Who knew neuroscience could be so fun?! He's nice, brilliant (we spent a lot of class time asking questions about EVERYTHING science-y, and stumped him maybe twice) and a great teacher. His class actually makes me want to study neuroscience!

i LOVED glimcher, i LOVED the class, his lectures were great. but then a mistake was made in calculating my grade and prof glimcher was unhelpful and then absolutely obnoxious about fixing it, or even talking to me about it. really great experience until afterward dealing with this egomaniac whose not so much fun outside the classroom

Ditto that! This man is AMAZING! Best professor I've had at NYU. Tough subject, but BRILLIANT and he made you never want to miss a class. He makes me wish I was in his department just so I could have him again!
