This book is for you if you are
- a psychology student studying the biological basis of behavior
- a student beginning behavioral neuroscience
- a reader connecting nervous system mechanisms with everyday experience
Why this book
Understanding behavior involves asking what the nervous system does and how researchers investigate it. James W. Kalat introduces those questions through explanations that connect biological processes with experiences such as seeing, sleeping, remembering, and responding emotionally. The thirteenth edition is designed to make these connections approachable for psychology students as well as readers with a stronger science background.
This biological psychology textbook begins with nerve cells, synapses, anatomy, research methods, genetics, and development. It then examines sensory systems, movement, sleep, internal regulation, reproductive behavior, emotions, learning, memory, cognition, and psychological disorders. That progression helps readers connect cellular mechanisms with broader questions about human and animal behavior.
Use the text to build vocabulary for a course, revisit a difficult concept, or follow the reasoning behind a biological explanation. The book provides an academic introduction and reflects research available for this edition; it is not a clinical diagnostic or treatment guide.
What you'll learn
- Describe nerve cells and communication at synapses
- Connect brain anatomy with research methods
- Examine sensation, movement, and sleep
- Relate biological regulation to behavior
- Explore mechanisms of learning, memory, and emotion
- Distinguish biological explanations from clinical advice
Not the right book for: Readers seeking clinical diagnosis, treatment advice, or a specialist neuroscience reference.
