Synopsis

* A chapter (Ch. 4) on psychopharmacology, which reflects the increased interest in the effects of drugs on the nervous system. * Two chapters (Chs. 15 and 16) on mental disorders, covering the topics of schizophrenia, affective disorders, anxiety disorders, autism, addiction, and the effects of stress. * An all-new set of beautiful, accurate, and informative illustrations. * Descriptions of the latest research. * A brief version, but not a condensation of, Physiology of Behavior with more emphasis on studies with humans. The book contains a well chosen set of topics and discusses them carefully and thoroughly. * An interesting opening vignette, many describing patients whom the author has met, introduces each chapter. An epilogue provides a fuller explanation, which the student is now ready to understand, having studied the chapter. * Learning objectives describe the topics that the chapter will cover and list questions that a student will be able to answer after studying the chapter. * Interim summaries, one of the features most often praised by students, provide the reader with an opportunity to review what he or she has just read. * Thought questions, located after interim summaries, encourage the student to think critically about the implications of what he or she has just learned. * Marginal definitions provide a running glossary where it is most useful-on the page where a new concept is discussed. Pronunciation guides ensure that a student will not be afraid to ask about a term in class.
