The Changing Brain: Alzheimer’s Disease and Advances in Neuroscience. I read this a decade ago, but my recollection is that it was a highly readable narrative overview of the progress made in neuroscience (esp. Alzheimer’s) in the ’80s and ’90s. It goes into a lot more detail than “here’s what an action potential is”, but not as much as a graduate textbook in neuroscience.

I notice this book has no reviews on Amazon and I’ve also never heard anyone else ever mention it, so it might not be as good as I remember.
