This item has been replaced by Foundations of Physiological Psychology (with MyPsychKit), 7/E.

A revision of the successful text that incorporates the most up-to-date changes from the quick-paced field of biological psychology.

Completely re-written and re-conceived in every edition, this book marries the clinical aspects of the field with the roots of biological research. Carlson uses many human examples to help make the material interesting and relevant to the student readers.

A FREE Neuroscience Animations CD-ROM accompanies each copy of the new textbook. Containing both a computerized study guide and numerous animations, the CD will allow students top view full-color pictures and 3-D demonstrations of the brain and the nervous system. (This will be updated from the POB, 7/e version.)

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

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

Carlson's trademark devotion to research is evidenced literally everywhere in the book with hundreds of new references, many from the Year 2000.

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, new research on alcohol, serotonin and aggression, and new research on schizophrenia as a degenerative disorder.

An expanded section on the discussion of the evolution of our species in Chapter 1 and the evolution of the human brain in Chapter 3.

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. 8).

The role of the basal ganglia is discussed in Chapter 10.

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

TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES — See reference to the Neuroscience Animations CD-ROM above.
- Website: www.ablongman.com/carlsonpob5e contains multiple choice questions, organized by chapter, for the students to "practice," as well as a wealth of useful links and research updates.
- The recently revised Digital Image Archive contains almost 300 full-color electronic images from the book, as well as from other sources, and is available upon the adoption of the text.

Each chapter includes “Interim Summary,” “Prologue,” “Epilogue,” “Key Concepts”,and “Suggested Readings.”
