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 behaviour. 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.
Several textbooks are available, with varying levels and emphases. Any of these could be consulted for more detailed information. Expect each of them to be revised periodically. Biological psychology heavily overlaps neuroscience, but, as a rule, textbooks with the word neuroscience in the title tend to put more emphasis on the physiology and biochemistry of the nervous system. Those with the title biological psychology tend to put more emphasis on application to behavior.
