About this ebook
An Introduction to Brain and Behavior (6th Edition), authored by Bryan Kolb, Ian Q. Whishaw, and G. Campbell Teskey, uses a distinctive, inquiry-based framework. Each chapter is organized around a core question that bridges the structural biology of the nervous system with human psychology and real-world clinical anomalies. [1, 2, 3]
The textbook is divided into 16 chapters, covering the following topics: [1, 2]
Foundations & Anatomy
  • Chapters 1–3 (Foundations & Anatomy): Introduces the evolutionary and historical origins of brain and behavior, details the macro-anatomy of the central and peripheral nervous systems, and explores the microscopic structures and genetics of neurons and glial cells. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Neural Communication & Psychopharmacology
  • Chapters 4–6 (Neural Communication & Psychopharmacology): Covers electrical signaling and nerve impulses, chemical neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity, and how drugs and hormones alter brain function and behavior. [1, 2, 3]
Research Methods & Brain Development
  • Chapters 7–8 (Research Methods & Development): Explores modern neuroscience research and neuroimaging methods, as well as neurodevelopment, adolescent structural changes, and neuroplasticity. [1, 2, 3]
Sensation, Perception, & Movement
  • Chapters 9–11 (Sensation, Perception, & Movement): Analyzes visual processing, auditory processing, language, and music, and the motor systems responsible for physical coordination and movement. [1, 2, 3]
Motivation, Cognition, & Pathology
  • Chapters 12–16 (Motivation, Cognition, & Pathology): Examines the neural basis of emotion, motivation, and drives, sleep cycles and circadian rhythms, learning and memory mechanisms, higher cognitive functions and thought, and clinical neurological and psychological disorders. [1, 2, 3, 4]
