Foundations of the Mind, Brain, and Behavioral Relationships:
Understanding Physiological Psychology is an engaging introduction
into neuroscience, and the portions of the nervous system,
perception, and the clinical considerations in physiological
psychology. "Clinical Applications" appear throughout the chapters
and provide real-world examples of brain–behavior relationships,
and how the nervous system interacts with other body systems to
create a specific behavior. Creating an interactive experience for
learners, this volume connects the study of neuroanatomy and
neurophysiology with clinically relevant topics, ranging from
stress and eating disorders to substance abuse, major affective
disorders, and schizophrenia. Integrating the foundations of
neuroscience with disorders encountered in clinical practice serves
