"This edition of an introduction to human neuropsychology begins with the essentials of neuroscience and neurology and the general principles of brain organization. The core of the book then offers in-depth treatment of the functional organization of the human brain, and coverage of neurological disorders associated with different functions."
"More is known about the behavior, anatomy, and molecular biology of the laboratory rat than any other animal species. Although its natural history and psychological functions have been described previously in books, this is the first comprehensive description of its behavior. Both seasoned and beginning investigators will be amazed at the range and complexity of the species as described in the 43 chapters of this volume. The behavior ..."
"There are few books devoted to the topic of brain plasticity and behavior. Most previous works that cover topics related to brain plasticity do not include extensive discussions of behavior. The first to try to address the relationship between recovery from brain damage and changes in the brain that might support the recovery, this volume includes studies of humans as well as laboratory species, particularly ..."
"From authors Bryan Kolb and Ian Whishaw, and new coauthor G. Campbell Teskey, An Introduction to Brain and Behavior offers a unique inquiry-based introduction to behavioral neuroscience, with each chapter focusing on a central question (i.e., "How Does the Nervous System Function?"). It also incorporates a distinctive clinical perspective, with examples showing students what happens when common neuronal processes malfunction. Now this a ..."
"Bryan Kolb and Ian Whishaw’s Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology was the first text to bring a comprehensive introduction to contemporary human neuropsychology to the undergraduate classroom. It gave students access to an extraordinary amount of cutting-edge research and made it coherent, relevant and understandable—with a presentation that reflected the authors’ superb communication and teaching skills. That text returns in extensiv ..."
"An Introduction To Brain And BehaviorThe new edition of Kolb and Whishaw's text exploring the biological basis of behaviour, communicates the excitement of the tremendous advances in the field over the past decade. Drawing on their extensive teaching and research experience, the authors organise their text around the key questions that intrigue brain researchers and students alike. By emphasising the clinical aspects of neuroscience the ..."
"Written by two top researchers, Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology, Fifth Edition guides students on a comprehensive journey of discovery through the realm of contemporary human neuropsychology. It is a remarkable text that makes an extraordinary amount of recent scholarship accessible and compelling. And with its dramatic new art program, new case studies and pedagogy, and new companion Web site, the Fifth Edition provides both the ..."
"The Neurobiology of Brain and Behavioral Development provides an overview of the process of brain development that is suitable for use as a university textbook at a graduate level. There have been many exciting discoveries in the past few years that add to the body of knowledge of how a brain develops, and this book collates and integrates these findings to share with readers in an easily accessible manner. The intent is to weave in th ..."
"Instructors - Electronic inspection copies are available or contact your local sales representative for an inspection copy of the print version. Revisiting the Classic Studies is a series of texts that introduces readers to the studies in psychology that changed the way we think about core topics in the discipline today. It provokes students to ask more interesting and challenging questions about the field by encouraging a deeper level ..."

"The rat is the most broadly used species in neuroscience research. The Cerebral Cortex of the Rat provides an easily accessible, single source of information on the rat cortex. It outlines what is known about the anatomical, neurochemical, physiological, and behavioral organization of the cerebral cortex of the rat and relates this to work done on other mammals, especially primates (including humans). The material is timely because of t ..."

"An Introduction to Brain and Behavior takes uninitiated students to the frontiers of contemporary physiological psychology more effectively than any other textbook. Renowned researchers and veteran teachers, Kolb and Whishaw help students connect nervous-system activity to human behavior, drawing on the latest research and revealing case studies. "
"Physiological psychology explores questions that utterly captivate students, but the wealth and complexity of the information can be daunting. When it comes to making this field clearer and relevant to uninitiated students, no introductory text can match Kolb and Whishaw's "An Introduction to Brain and Behavior. "Kolb and Whishaw's distinctive approach to contemporary brain science engages students by answering the basic questions about ..."
