This text is a unique inquiry-based introduction to behavioral neuroscience. Each chapter focuses on a central question (i.e., 'How Does the Nervous System Function?') guiding students through the key concepts. The authors emphasize a distinctive clinical perspective, with examples showing students what happens when common neuronal processes malfunction with real life applications. The book reflects the latest findings at the time of publication on specific disorders including Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, depression and drug dependency, sleep disorders, schizophrenia, glaucoma, and abnormal development related to prenatal experience.

In 1976, he moved to the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, where he is a professor of neuroscience.
