Riassunto

In a visually appealing format, this book demonstrates how such aspects of the brain as neurotransmission and neuroanatomy relate to “real” psychological topics such as emotion, language and learning, sexual behavior, anxiety, aggression, recovery from brain damage, depression, and pain. The book focuses on the structures and function of brain anatomy first, then introduces the resulting behaviors. Topics include: Integrating Explanations; Coordinated Action; Neurons and the Nervous System; The Brain; Development; Sensory Systems—General Principles; Vision; The Other Senses; The Control of Movement; Learning and Memory; From Reflexes to Goals; Emotion; Stress and Coping; Pain; Motivation; Feeding and Drinking; Sexual Behavior; Drugs; Sleep and Waking; Psychopathology; Cognitive Processes and Consciousness. For psychologists.

Recensione

"...this text presents a more personalised view of the organisation of Biological Psychology than is seen in many other texts in this area, and the presentation of the imformation gains from this approach. Toates has given us an excellent text for the interested student of biological psychology." - Terry D. Blumenthal, Biological Psychology.  "This fat, soft covered, beautifully produced text is particularly pleasant to explore and handle...its packed with information... Here is more than you would ever want to know about the current state of biological knowledge relevant to psychological proceses, a field clearly expanding exponentially." - Alan Large, Australian Journal of Psychotherapy

" I think this text is an exciting, important and highly competitive entrant into this market. It is written for the student by an accomplished writer and educator, and I can recommend it most highly to you" - Neil E. Rowland, Physiology and Behaviour

"...suceeds in its ambition to present an integrated view of biological psychology" - Tom Dickins, Times Higher Education Supplement

"It provides a good, compeling explanations of conventional topics in Physiological psychology" - Patrick Green, Animal Behaviour

The presentation and organisation of the book are excellent, making use of illustrations that are of an extremely high standard, serving to clarify and inform rather than distract the reader." - Dr Bundy Mackintosh, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge, UK, reviewing on Amazon.co.uk
