For more than twenty years, Breedlove and Watson’s Behavioral Neuroscience has successfully solved these problems by presenting the most current, definitive, clear, and authoritative introduction to the field. Using stellar examples of today’s most exciting research, an unparalleled art program that clarifies even complex biological processes, visual summaries to remind students of the principle findings presented in each chapter, and a comprehensive suite of digital support tools–including animations with built-in assessments that help test the student’s knowledge of biological and behavioral processes and neuroanatomy–Behavioral Neuroscience, Ninth Edition, remains the best resource available for introductory neuroscience and behavioral neuroscience courses. This ebook comes with a one- year subscription of Neurons in Action
