For courses in Physiological/Biopsychology
Physiology of Behavior provides a scholarly yet accessible portrait of the dynamic interaction between biology and behaviour. Lead author Neil Carlson and new co-author Melissa Birkett drew upon their experience teaching and working with students to create the new edition of this comprehensive and accessible guide for students of behavioral neuroscience. In addition to updated research, the 12th Edition offers an updated art and visual program and a more robust learning architecture that highlights key concepts, guiding students through the text.
