Brain & Behavior: An Introduction to Behavioral Neuroscience, Sixth Edition (2021) by Bob Garrett and Gerald Hough - Winner of the 2022 Textbook & Academic Authors Association's McGuffey Longevity Award - showcases the ever-expanding body of research into the biological foundations of human behavior through a compelling big-picture approach.
With thought-provoking examples and a vibrant, carefully crafted visual program, this acclaimed SAGE Publications textbook allows any student - regardless of prior science background - to appreciate the importance and relevance of behavioral neuroscience. Authors Garrett and Hough translate complex concepts into accessible narratives, connecting neural mechanisms to the behaviors students observe in themselves and the world around them.
New to the sixth edition: fully revised learning objectives aligned with Bloom's taxonomy; a streamlined box feature program; an expanded collection of foundational animations; and updated research on timely topics including drugs and addiction, sex and gender, emotion, stress, and mental health. The text comes packaged with a complete teaching and learning ecosystem.
Topics covered: functional neuroanatomy; neurons, synapses, and neurotransmission; the structure and function of the nervous system; sensory and motor systems; sleep and circadian rhythms; learning and memory; language and lateralization; intelligence and cognition; emotion and stress; hunger, eating, and metabolism; reproductive behaviors; drugs, addiction, and reward; psychological disorders including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and autism; neurodegenerative disease; and the biological bases of consciousness.
Ideal for: undergraduate behavioral neuroscience, biological psychology, physiological psychology, and brain and behavior courses; pre-med and pre-nursing students; psychology majors; neuroscience majors; and graduate students needing a comprehensive review.
"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math β Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
