In this unique inquiry-based introduction to behavioral neuroscience
each chapter focuses on a central question (i.e., "How Does the
Nervous System Function?"). The authors emphasize a distinctive
clinical perspective, with examples showing students what happens when
common neuronal processes malfunction. The new edition continues the
tradition of incorporating the latest research into the fundamentals
of nervous system functioning and the interaction between our behavior
and our brains. Revisions include new material discussing current
research on genetic mosaics and modification, including: Transgenic
techniques and optogenetic techniques Neurotransmitters Hormones Brain
development in adolescence Psychobiotics Color perception Biorhythms
The book has also been updated to reflect the latest findings on
specific disorders including Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease,
depression and drug dependency, sleep disorders, schizophrenia,
glaucoma, and abnormal development related to prenatal experience.
