About this ebook
The Test Bank for first edition of Introduction to Behavioral Neuroscience (published by OpenStax in November 2024) is a comprehensive textbook co-edited by Elizabeth D. Kirby, Melissa J. Glenn, Noah J. Sandstrom, and Christina L. Williams. Designed specifically for undergraduate courses exploring the biological bases of behavior, the book spans 19 chapters that break down the intersections between the nervous system, behavior, and the environment. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
The standard topics and specialized chapters covered in the text include:
Foundations of the Nervous System
    • Structure and Function of the Nervous System: Covers the cellular building blocks (neurons and glia), basic neuroanatomy, and the central vs. peripheral nervous systems.
    • Neurophysiology: Focuses on neural circuits, bioelectricity, mechanisms of neural signaling, and action potentials.
    • Basic Neurochemistry: Explores neurotransmitters, receptor binding, and synaptic transmission. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6]
Sensory and Motor Systems
    • Neurodevelopment: Explains how neural circuits self-assemble over time through genetic and environmental signaling.
    • Vision: Details the visual pathways, the retina, and visual processing up to the primary visual cortex.
    • Hearing and Balance: Examines auditory pathways and vestibular function.
    • The Chemical Senses: Covers the biological mechanisms behind taste (gustation) and smell (olfaction).
    • Touch and Pain: Focuses on somatosensory systems and pain perception pathways.
    • Motor Control: Details how brain regions like the motor cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum coordinate smooth body movements. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Regulatory and Complex Behaviors
    • Psychopharmacology: Investigates how exogenous drugs affect brain chemistry and behavior.
    • Sexual Behavior: Examines the hormonal and neural underpinnings of reproductive behaviors.
    • Learning and Memory: Focuses on the neural mechanisms of encoding, consolidation, and neuroplasticity.
    • Attention and Executive Function: Explores prefrontal cortex functions, decision-making, and goal-directed behavior. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Practical and Digital Additions
Beyond the text chapters, this specific volume features a methods video section demonstrating 13 common neuro techniques. These videos give students structural insights into real-world neuroscience experiments and laboratory procedures
