Carlson's comprehensive, cutting-edge research with a student-friendly writing style builds a solid foundation. This edition introduces increased coverage of evolution and the human brain.

Carlson's Seventh Edition of Physiology of Behavior continues its tradition as the most comprehensive, current, and teachable text for physiological psychology. This classic text incorporates the latest discoveries in the rapidly changing fields of neuroscience and physiological psychology and offers the most comprehensive and integrative coverage of research and theory in contemporary behavioral neuroscience. Thoughtfully organized, it offers scholarly, yet accessible, coverage and effectively emphasizes the dynamic interaction between biology and behavior. Collaboration with a talented artist has provided beautiful, accurate, and informative full-color illustrations that further enhance the appeal to both students and professors alike.

A FREE Neuroscience Animations CD-ROM accompanies each copy of the new textbook. The CD-ROM also contains a computerized study guide.

Interim Summaries divide major sections into more manageable “learning chunks” which facilitate better learning.

“Suggested Readings and Resources” enhance the students' education by providing them with additional reference materials, both Web-based and traditional.

New coverage of the following topics has been added: new staining techniques for specific substances, new imaging and recording methods, the discovery of new nociceptors.

An expanded section on the discussion of the evolution of our species in Chapter 1.

Discussion of new research on neural circuits involved in facial recognition in Chapter 6.

New information on the discovery of the role of histamine in sleep and arousal, as well as discovery of the cause of canine narcolepsy: the gene for the orexin receptor (Ch. 9).

The role of the basal ganglia in disgust and new research on alcohol, serotonin, and aggression in Chapter 11.

New coverage of the role of the prefrontal cortex in working memory.

Recent research on schizophrenia as a degenerative disorder.

Each section ends with “Suggested Readings” and “Suggested Websites.”
