This print textbook is available for students to rent for their classes. The Pearson print rental program provides students with affordable access to learning materials, so they come to class ready to succeed. For courses in Physiological Psychology or Biopsychology A streamlined overview of behavioral neuroscience Foundations of Behavioral Neuroscience offers a concise introduction to behavioral neuroscience with a good balance of human and animal studies. Authors Neil Carlson and Melissa Birkett help students grasp the key concepts of the discipline, apply theory and research findings to daily life, and better understand their own behavior. Along with the fresh perspectives brought by new co-author Melissa Birkett, the 10th Edition incorporates the latest studies in this rapidly changing field as well as a new dedicated chapter on movement, added in response to faculty feedback.

1.Neuroscience as a field evolves rapidly; new research methods are developed every year. The research reported in this edition reflects the enormous advances made in these research methods. New researchis published every year that advances our understanding of the physiology of behavior. This new edition describes research that has resulted in many new discoveries. New Research: Genes that control brain size. Action of acetaminophen. Diffusion tensor imaging of fiber tracts. Discovery of color "globs" in the visual association cortex. Discovery of the gene responsible for congenital insensitivity to pain. Revised section on neural control of maternal behavior. Brain mechanisms of moral judgments. Emotional judgments of body posture. Bariatric surgery and secretion of anorexic peptide. Role of the basal ganglia in nondeclarative learning. Causes of AIDS dementia complex. Possible role of vitamin D deficiency in development of schizophrenia Cleansing rituals as atonement for unethical behavior. Brain pathology in autistic disorder 2. This new edition features many entirely new topics that were not covered in previous editions. New Topics: Evidence for fatty acid detectors in the tongue. New section on the role of sleep in procedural and declarative learning. Brain mechanisms of REM sleep: the REM flip- flop. Role of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex in reactions to violation of social norms. Role of the somatosensory system in emotional recognition and empathy. Anorexic symptoms as a response to starvation . New treatment for anorexia. Transfer of memories from hippocampus to neocortex . Identification of the visual word- form area . Ketogenic diet and development of 2- DG trials for treatment of seizure disorders. Brain- computer interfaces to operate computer- controlled devices. Animal research on delivery of siRNA to treat Huntington's disease. Reorganization of the section on anxiety disorders. Role of 5- HT transporters in PTSD. Role of the dorsal striatum in addictive behavio . Role of the insular cortex in nicotine addiction. New experimental drugs for treatment of addiction. Role of airway sensations in cigarette addiction 3. The author has revised the existing art and prepared new art to illustrate research that is described for the first time in this edition. Dozens of new pieces of art have been developed and dozens of others have been revised. The result is a set of up-to-date, clear, consistent, and attractive illustrations.

For courses in Physiological/Biopsychology An up-to-date, comprehensive, and accessible overview of behavioral neuroscience Physiology of Behavior provides a scholarly yet accessible portrait of the dynamic interaction between biology and behavior. 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 Twelfth Edition offers an updated art and visual program and a more robust learning architecture that highlights key concepts, guiding students through the text. Physiology of Behavior, Twelfth Edition is also available via REVEL(tm), an immersive learning experience designed for the way today's students read, think, and learn.

Fundamental Neuroscience, Third Edition introduces graduate and upper-level undergraduate students to the full range of contemporary neuroscience. Addressing instructor and student feedback on the previous edition, all of the chapters are rewritten to make this book more concise and student-friendly than ever before. Each chapter is once again heavily illustrated and provides clinical boxes describing experiments, disorders, and methodological approaches and concepts.Capturing the promise and excitement of this fast-moving field, Fundamental Neuroscience, 3rd Edition is the text that students will be able to reference throughout their neuroscience careers! 30% new material including new chapters on Dendritic Development and Spine Morphogenesis, Chemical Senses, Cerebellum, Eye Movements, Circadian Timing, Sleep and Dreaming, and Consciousness Additional text boxes describing key experiments, disorders, methods, and concepts Multiple model system coverage beyond rats, mice, and monkeys Extensively expanded index for easier referencing

Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University Press. Behavioral Neuroscience, Eighth Edition, provides undergraduates with a lively survey of the field. It offers a broad perspective, encompassing cutting edge neuroscience, lucid descriptions of behavior, evolutionary and developmental perspectives, and clinical applications of research. Despite this comprehensive range of material, the authors have striven in the latest revision to lay bare the neuroscience concepts underlying behavior with concision and clarity.
