Summary: The first part of the book is concerned with foundations: the history of the field, the structure and functions of neurons, neuroanatomy, psychopharmacology, and research methods. The second part is concerned with inputs and outputs: the sensory sytems and the motor system. The third part deals with classes of species-typical behaviour: sleep, reproduction, emotional behavior, and ingestion. The fourth part of the book deals with learning ... synaptic plasticity and the neural mechanisms that are responsible for perceptual learning and stimulus-response learning ... human amnesia and the role of the hippocampal formation in relational learning. The final part of the book deals with verbal communication and mental and behavioural disorders. - Preface
