Physiology of Behavior, 13th Edition, serves as an introductory textbook on behavioral neuroscience. Published by Pearson, the volume examines how biological processes interact with behavioral patterns, drawing on classroom teaching experience to support students throughout their study.
The text introduces foundational concepts in neural structure, sensory processing, and motor control. It also explores critical regulatory mechanisms and motivated behaviors, linking physical operations in the body to emotional responses and complex cognitive functions.
To reflect ongoing research, this edition introduces dedicated coverage of the developing nervous system through an added chapter. This material highlights developmental conditions, examining disorders such as autism spectrum disorders and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
