The new edition of Kolb and Whishaw's text exploring the biological basis of behaviour, communicates the excitement of the tremendous advances in the field over the past decade. Drawing on their extensive teaching and research experience, the authors organise their text around the key questions that intrigue brain researchers and students alike. By emphasising the clinical aspects of neuroscience the authors continually reinforce the relevance of the field to human experience, while providing basic neurobiological information of specific interest to students pursuing careers in social sciences, life sciences, or health professions.
