Behavioral Neuroscience
About This Book
Behavioral Neuroscience by George Spilich, presents the neurophysiological aspects of behavior to the 21st-century, digital-native learner in the context of human experience, rather than in that of laboratory experiments with non-human animals. Whether a student has enrolled in the course to prepare them for a career in medicine or science, or they are fulfilling a general education science requirement, Behavioral Neuroscience is written to meet them where they are.
The text has an accessible writing style, real-life examples and data sets, active-learning exercises, and multimodal media and quizzesâall designed to make the subject more engaging and relevant. This ground-breaking first edition is ideal for the Introductory Behavioral Neuroscience or the Biological Psychology course.
