With Macmillan's superior content delivered by LaunchPad (a first
for this title), Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology continues to
keep pace with its dynamic field, just as it has done throughout
its nearly four decades of publication. As they have done since the
first edition, the authors draw on recent research and their own
clinical and lab experience to guide their development of the
content, and on their experience in the classroom to help hone the
presentation in a way that is both accessible and engaging to
students. Coverage includes recent developments in network
analysis, neural imaging, and genetic research- particularly in
terms of the impact on our understanding and assessment of brain
injury and disorders. And for the first time, the book has its own
dedicated version of LaunchPad, an all-in-one solution for online
teaching and learning, featuring the complete e-book, interactive
student resources, and assessment tools.
Revisiting the Classic Studies is a series of texts that introduces
readers to the studies in psychology that changed the way we think
about core topics in the discipline today. It provokes students to
ask more interesting and challenging questions about the field by
encouraging a deeper level of engagement both with the details of
the studies themselves and with the nature of their contribution.
Edited by leading scholars in their field and written by
researchers at the cutting edge of these developments, the chapters
in each text provide details of the original works and their
theoretical and empirical impact, and then discuss the ways in
which thinking and research has advanced in the years since the
studies were conducted. Brain and Behaviour: Revisiting the Classic
Studies traces 17 ground-breaking studies by researchers such as
Gage, Luria, Sperry, and Tulving to re-examine and reflect on their
findings and engage in a lively discussion of the subsequent work
that they have inspired. Suitable for students on neuropsychology
courses at all levels, as well as anyone with an enquiring mind.
This book provides students and researchers with reviews of
biological questions related to the evolution of feeding by
vertebrates in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Based on
recent technical developments and novel conceptual approaches, the
book covers functional questions on trophic behavior in nearly all
vertebrate groups including jawless fishes. The book describes
mechanisms and theories for understanding the relationships between
feeding structure and feeding behavior. Finally, the book
demonstrates the importance of adopting an integrative approach to
the trophic system in order to understand evolutionary mechanisms
across the biodiversity of vertebrates.
More is known about the behavior, anatomy, and molecular biology of
the laboratory rat than any other animal species. Although its
natural history and psychological functions have been described
previously in books, this is the first comprehensive description of
its behavior. Both seasoned and beginning investigators will be
amazed at the range and complexity of the species as described in
the 43 chapters of this volume. The behavioral descriptions are
closely tied to the laboratory methods from which they were
derived, thus allowing investigators to correlate the behavior and
methods and exploit them in their own research. This book is aimed
at investigators in neuroscience who may not be familiar with rat
behavior, but who wish to incorporate behavioral studies into their
own research. Nevertheless, seasoned investigators will also find
the book to be a handy reference for behavioral paradigms with
which they may not be familiar. It is expected that as the genetic
and molecular understanding of the rat develops, there will be an
increasing need for knowledge about rat behavior. This book will
serve as an indispensable resource for neuroscientists,
psychologists, pharmacologists, geneticists, molecular biologists,
zoologists, and their students and trainees.
