Physiology of Behavior offers an up-to-date, comprehensive, accessible overview of behavioral neuroscience. This text provides a scholarly yet accessible portrait of the dynamic interaction between biology and behavior. Authors Neil Carlson and Melissa Birkett drew upon their experience teaching and working with students to create this comprehensive and accessible guide for students of behavioral neuroscience.
