Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University Press. The Mind's Machine, introduced in 2012, was written to impart the core concepts of behavioral neuroscience to students in a diverse range of disciplines, including not only psychology and the other life sciences, but art, philosophy, media studies, linguistics, and the like. Through the use of streamlined text, full-color art, novel pedagogical features, and real-life examples and analogies, the book succeeded in engaging students new to neuroscience without sacrificing accuracy.Put to the test by faculty and students, The Mind's Machine proved itself to be accessible and reader-friendly--not to mention affordably priced--and the Second Edition is no less so. If you are teaching a brain and behavior, biopsychology, or physiological psychology course, you will want to consider this book!

The fifth edition of The Mind's Machine captivates students of all backgrounds through coverage of contemporary research, clinical cases, experiments, and compelling examples that directly relate to their lives and fields of interest. The Mind's Machine, Fifth Edition, introduces readers to the basics of behavioral neurosciences and the newest and most fascinating discoveries. This bestselling text offers an engaging introduction to the interdisciplinary topics of introductory behavioral neuroscience. It is designed to cater to a wide range of students including non-science majors, to those majoring in psychology, life sciences, and neuroscience. The Mind's Machine successfully presents neuroscience concepts in a manner that is accessible and that is meaningful to a diverse audience while maintaining scientific accuracy. Moreover, it provides examples from diverse fields within neuroscience, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.The Mind’s Machine is available with Oxford Insight. Oxford Insight offers many new assignable activities including VisualSummaries, Videos & Animations, Quizzes, and Interactive Figures. All content has been reviewed by users of the textand curated to provide the best teaching and learning experience for faculty and students, ensuring the Instructor andStudent resources work efficiently and effectively together.

For over 20 years, Breedlove & Watson's Behavioral Neuroscience has successfully presented the most current research through an engaging narrative, strong clinical examples, an exceptional visual approach to the content, and an authoritative introduction to the field. Written for the first course in biopsychology and neuroscience, Behavioral Neuroscience 10th Edition by Marc Breedlove and Neil Watson provides a strong foundation for understanding neural functioning and brain-behavior relations. Using stellar examples of today's most exciting research, an unparalleled art program that clarifies complex biological processes, and visual summaries that remind students of the principle findings presented in each chapter, Behavioral Neuroscience helps introductory neuroscience and behavioral neuroscience understand the dynamic and exciting field of neuroscience.Behavorial Neuroscience is available with Oxford Insight. Oxford Insight pairs best-in-class OUP content with curated media resources, activities, and gradable assessment, in a guided learning environment that delivers performance analytics, drives student engagement, and improves student outcomes.

Foundations of Neural Development is a textbook written with a conversational writing style and topics appropriate for an undergraduate audience. Each chapter begins with a thought-provoking vignette, or a "real-life story," that the subsequent material illuminates. The "Researchers at Work" feature, available in every chapter, describes a classic study in detail, taking the reader through the hypothesis, test, result, and conclusion of an experiment. A marginal glossary, review questions, and visual summary are a few of the other features in the book. Lively and engaging, with the finest illustrations, Foundations of Neural Development is the perfect book to help any undergraduate student understand how a single microscopic cell, a human zygote, can develop into the most complex machine on earth, the brain.

The "Researchers at Work" feature, available in every chapter, describes a classic study in detail, taking the reader through the hypothesis, test, result, and conclusion of an experiment. A marginal glossary, review questions, and bulleted summary are a few of the other features in the book. Chapters 1-7 unfold in the order of ontogeny, covering induction, the establishment of a body plan, neural migration, differentiation, axonal pathfinding, synapse formation, and apoptosis. Chapters 8-10 address activity-guided, experience-guided, and socially guided neural development--mechanisms that were crucial for the evolution of the human brain. Lively and engaging, with the finest illustrations, Foundations of Neural Development is the perfect book to help any undergraduate student understand how a single microscopic cell, a human zygote, can develop into the most complex machine on earth, the brain.
