Behavioral Neuroscience with Neurons in Action

Behavioral Neuroscience with Neurons in Action, 9th Edition, is an undergraduate textbook designed for introductory neuroscience and behavioral neuroscience courses. The text explains complex scientific principles in an accessible and relatable manner for undergraduates, including psychology students who may not have extensive prior biology training.

Coverage focuses on three main areas: biological foundations of behavior, perception and action, and cognitive neuroscience. Discussions examine how neuroanatomy, chemical signaling, and physiological processes shape regulation, emotional states, and cognitive functions such as learning and memory.

To assist study and review, each chapter includes visual summaries that remind students of the principal findings presented in the material.
