About this ebook
The fifth edition of The Mind's Machine: Foundations of Brain and Behavior by Neil V. Watson and S. Marc Breedlove (published by Oxford University Press, 2024) covers the core principles of behavioral neuroscience. [1, 2]
Major Topics and Core Chapters Covered
  • Neuroanatomy: Structure and organization of the nervous system.
  • Neurophysiology: Electrical signals, action potentials, and how neurons communicate.
  • Neuropharmacology: Synaptic transmission, drugs, and chemical actions on the brain.
  • Neural Development: How the brain and nervous system grow and change over time.
  • Sensory Systems & Vision: Processing of sensory information and visual pathways.
  • Sensorimotor Systems: Control and execution of movement.
  • Hormones & Homeostasis: Endocrine systems, biological regulation, and internal balance.
  • Biological Rhythms & Sleep: Mechanisms of sleep, wakefulness, and circadian rhythms.
  • Emotions, Aggression, and Stress: Neural bases of emotional responses and stress reactions.
  • Psychopathology: Biological underpinnings of mental health disorders and psychiatric conditions.
  • Learning & Memory: Cellular and systems-level mechanisms of memory formation.
  • Cognition & Language: Higher-level brain functions, thinking, and communication. [1]
Special Features and Contemporary Updates in the 5th Edition
  • Updated Research & Case Studies: Includes modern experimental techniques and clinical scenarios (Signs & Symptoms). [1]
  • Contemporary Focus Areas: Expanded coverage on COVID-19 neural impacts, LGBTQ+ and diversity topics, and updated interactive study features (Oxford Insight, Food for Thought, and Researchers at Work). [1, 2]
