The Mind's Machine Foundations of Brain and Behavior

Watson (Simon Fraser U., Canada) and Breedlove (Michigan State U.) provide a textbook for a course introducing the elements of behavioral neuroscience, either for science students going into the area, or students in other disciplines who are just broadening their education. Among the topics are the anatomy of the nervous system, the chemistry of behavior, vision from eye to brain, biological rhythms and sleep, and language and the divided human brain.
