Brain and Behavior by David Eagleman

Brain and Behavior by David Eagleman

Brain and Behavior: A Cognitive Neuroscience Perspective captures the excitement of cognitive and behavioral neuroscience by focusing on fundamental scientific principles, patterns, and ways of thinking. Brain and Behavior is clear and vibrant writing, with fascinating real-life examples and applications that help to emphasize the dynamically changing nature of the brain. This text covers a wide territory critical for understanding the brain, from the basics of the nervous system to the sensory and motor systems, sleep, language, memory, emotions and motivation, social cognition, and brain disorders. Throughout the narrative, the authors emphasize the dynamically changing nature of the brain, through the mechanisms of neuroplasticity. The text pulls together the best current knowledge about the brain while acknowledging current areas of ignorance and pointing students toward the most promising directions for future research.

Brain and Behavior is an excellent introduction to cognitive neuroscience for the undergraduate studentIt provides sufficient detail at this level for the students to gain an appreciation of the complexity and the importance of brain function in cognition." - Joseph H. Porter, Virginia Commonwealth University
The text is an excellent adoption as an introduction to important topics in neuroscience, is well researched, and well written." - John E. Bryant, Bowie State University
