From authors Bryan Kolb, Ian Whishaw, and G. Campbell Teskey, An Introduction to Brain and Behavior offers a unique inquiry-based approach to behavioral neuroscience with each chapter focusing on a central question (i.e., "How Does the Nervous System Function?"). The authors emphasize a distinctive clinical perspective, with examples that show students what happens when common neuronal processes malfunction.
The new edition continues the Brain and Behavior tradition of incorporating the latest research throughout the book. Revisions include new material discussing current research on genetic mosaics and modification, including transgenic techniques and optogenetic techniques, neurotransmitters, hormones, brain development in adolescence, psychobiotics, color perception, and biorhythms, as well as updates to the discussion of specific disorders to reflect the current state of understanding, including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, depression and drug dependency, sleep disorders, schizophrenia, glaucoma, and abnormal development related to prenatal experience.

Features
The authors continue the suite of features from previous editions including:
Clinical Focus, which introduce fascinating and revealing real-life cases of neurological disorders and their treatment
Experiment, which take students step by step through an important research endeavor that enhanced our understanding of the chapter’s topic
The Basics to refresh students on fundamental concepts in biology and chemistry that they may have learned in previous courses
End-of-Section Review, which offer fill-in comprehension questions and a more open ended short answer question as a quick check for students.
End-of-chapter Pedagogy, including chapter reviews, summaries, and key terms
The new edition also places added emphasis on the 10 foundational principles of neuroscience laid out in Chapter 2 as they relate to the coverage throughout the text.
New to This Edition
The online LaunchPad platform includes a host of new activities and resources crafted by a team of instructors under the direct guidance of the authors. These activities are the perfect way to illustrate key concepts in the course and assess students’ understanding. In addition, the LearningCurve adaptive quizzing system offers students an efficient and effective way to study and identify the topics they understand least, so they can better prepare for exams. Video activities, a newsfeed of scientific articles, and other resources make this a robust supplement for any behavioral neuroscience course.“The examples in the text were excellent. All the examples provided fully support the content being discussed, were easy to access, and current.”
“The overall writing style is highly accessible and easy to follow. The authors take complex topics and break them down in a succinct and direct fashion.”
“I am a fan of Launchpad and the writing style used in this text. It is very easy for students to get bogged down in the various structural and biological components inherent to a Brain and Behavior text, but the authors were great at presenting the information clearly. This type of text is highly valuable to me as an aid in helping to teach and clarify this somewhat challenging content.”Benjamin DeVore, Virginia Tech
“The main strength of the text is the writing style. The authors have done an incredible job of presenting a difficult subject into language that is accessible which facilitates understanding.”
“Not only is the text enjoyable to read, the accompanying LaunchPad resources are attractive to help visualize or animate key brain processes that are directly related to behavior. I also appreciate the wealth of videos, quizzes, and other active learning activities.”Carlos Rodriguez, University of New Mexico
“I'm excited about this book, it will be an excellent addition to resources.”
Carol DeVolder, St. Ambrose University“I have been very pleased with the coverage and materials available for this text. I would strongly recommend colleagues consider it for their courses.”
Eric Jackson, University of New Mexico
“Introduction to Brain and Behavior is extremely effective in the course I teach. The material is presented exactly how I organize my course.”
“This text and accompanying materials are first rate. Everything the instructor needs is contained in a single source. This saves countless hours of finding materials such as interactive animations, videos, and other activities to supplement the text.”
“I have used previous editions of this text and this new edition and accompanying materials is simply outstanding. This text is extremely popular among students.”Richard Conti, Kean University
