Ethical Issues in Behavioral Neuroscience

Ethical Issues in Behavioral Neuroscience, published by Springer, examines how ethical considerations inform research into the mechanisms of behavior across neurobiology and psychology. Published as volume 19 in the Current Topics in Behavioral Neurosciences series, this 2015 work explores ethical challenges across both laboratory and clinical environments.

The volume centers on two main areas: experimental animal research and research involving human participants. In the animal domain, discussions address animal models, harm and benefit assessments, and frameworks for investigating animal consciousness. Topics in human studies examine research into altered brain activity and moral agency.

Available in print and reflowable digital formats, the book provides a thematic survey of ethical dilemmas arising in behavioral neuroscience inquiry.
