What to read after Biological Psychology?

Biological Psychology is a comprehensive survey of the biological bases of behaviour that is authoritative and up-to-date. Designed for undergraduates enrolled in biological psychology, physiological psychology, or behavioral neuroscience, the book continues to offer an outstanding illustration program that engages students, making even complicated topics and chains of events clear. The book offers a broad perspective, encompassing lucid descriptions of behaviour, evolutionary history, development, proximate mechanisms, and applications. Each chapter has been made more concise and now begins with a brief narrative relating the topic to the human condition. The new edition boasts hundreds of new references, including research that students may have encountered in the popular media. Critical thinking skills are also honed as the reader is alerted to the many widely-held myths about the neuroscience of behaviour (different parts of the tongue detect only certain flavours, dogs are colour-blind, sleep deprivation makes you crazy), and educated about facts that sound so unlikely to the uninformed (some people cannot feel pain, in some animals only half the brain sleeps at a time, ears make sounds, some people cannot form new memories, experience alters the structure of the brain). Thorough and reader-friendly, Biological Psychology reveals the fascinating interactions of brain and behaviour.
