The Tenth Edition of Physiology of Behavior continues its tradition as the most comprehensive, current, and teachable text for physiological psychology.

This revision of a classic text incorporates the latest discoveries in the rapidly changing fields of neuroscience and physiological psychology and offers the most comprehensive and integrative coverage of research and theory in contemporary behavioral neuroscience.

Thoughtfully organized, it offers scholarly, yet accessible coverage and effectively emphasizes the dynamic interaction between biology and behavior. Collaboration with a talented artist has provided beautiful, accurate, and informative full-color illustrations that further enhance the appeal to both students and professors alike.

The book in this pack is accompanied by a MyPsychKit student access card.
