Behavioral Neuroscience

by S. Marc Breedlove, Neil V. Watson

Encompasses cutting-edge neuroscience, lucid descriptions of behavior, evolutionary and developmental perspectives, and clinical applications of research.

Instructors of behavioral neuroscience are faced with the challenge of how to teach the course's complex material in an accessible and relatable, yet comprehensive way for undergraduate students. For more than twenty years, Breedlove and Watson's Behavioral Neuroscience has successfully solved these problems by presenting the most current, definitive, clear, and authoritative introduction to the field. Using stellar examples of today's most exciting research, an unparalleled art program that clarifies even complex biological processes, visual summaries to remind students of the principle findings presented in each chapter, and a comprehensive suite of digital support tools--including animations with built-in assessments that help test the student's knowledge of biological and behavioral processes and neuroanatomy--Behavioral Neuroscience, Ninth Edition, remains the best resource available to teach introductory neuroscience and behavioral neuroscience courses.

It's a good book, considered the textbook format. It contains myriads of exciting information and brings lots of perspective to the brain and behaviour of living beings, this, in a high degree of detail in the subjects it touches. Exciting but a tough read.

Good book. I find that the diagrams are very helpful to understand the material, and the cutting edge parts to be very interesting. It helps very well with the understanding of basic, yet complex topics in neuroscience.
