This text is a unique inquiry-based introduction to behavioral neuroscience. Each chapter
focuses on a central question (i.e. How Does the Nervous System Function?) guiding students
through the key concepts. The authors emphasize a distinctive clinical perspective with
examples showing students what happens when common neuronal processes malfunction with real
life applications. The book reflects the latest findings at the time of publication on specific
disorders including Parkinson disease Alzheimer disease depression and drug dependency sleep
disorders schizophrenia glaucoma and abnormal development related to prenatal experience.
