  This student-friendly text looks at the relationship between biological factors (mostly brain activity) and behaviour, and shows students what biology has to do with psychology. The author reveals how such aspects of brain activity as neurotransmission and neuroanatomy relate to real psychological topics such as language and learning, sexual behaviour, anxiety, aggressive behaviour, depression, and schizophrenia. This revised edition features new art, research, examples, and extended coverage of genetics and evolution.

  This book studies the relationship between biological factors (mostly brain activity) and behaviour. It shows students how such aspects of brain physiology as neuro-transmission and neuroanatomy relate to real psychological topics such as language, sexual behaviour, drug addiction, depression, depression and schizophrenia. The fifth edition has been updated with research in neurobiology with emphasis on the human phenomena and the effects of physiology on behaviour, all of which the author aims to portray in a way that engages student interest rather than churning out facts. The Dictionary of Biological Psychology by the same author is free with this text.
