This is a very good introductory text on bio-psych. It is thorough, research-based, and has good ancillary resources, particularly for a new instructor. --Dennis J. Trickett This textbook's coverage goes into depth on the topics important to any psychology or biology student. It contains up-to-date research and covers multiple modalities. Supplementary materials are available and this is a fresh alternative to the textbooks currently available. --Tifani Fletcher Behavioral Neuroscience provides a broad overview of physiological psychology that can serve as a foundation for learning about brain-behavior relationships and emerging subfields and applications of neuroscience. --Suzanne Clerkin This textbook covers behavioral neuroscience from a research-driven perspective, while highlighting new findings in the field and discussing case studies related to the topic. It gives a fresh perspective and different lens on the field than what you would traditionally find in a behavioral neuroscience textbook, like the inclusion of neuromarketing. --Amanda ElBassiouny
