Beskrivelse
Brain and Behavior seeks to tell the story of the brain in a logical, engaging, and meaningful way. By exposing overarching principles rather than simply listing facts, Brain and Behavior highlights what we understand about the function of the brain and what we have left to learn. This text makes clear the current thinking in the field and builds the scaffolding for the student to learn new concepts. Without compromising important ideas, this book covers a wide swath of territory critical for understanding the brain, from the basics of the nervous system to sensory and motor systems, the frontal lobes, sleep, language, memory, drug addiction, and brain disorders. Throughout the book, the narrative emphasizes the dynamically changing nature of the brain (neuroplasticity) using clear writing and real-life examples.
