A comprehensive textbook that presents a clear, engaging introduction to theories and research in biopsychology.

A comprehensive textbook that provides a clear, engaging introduction to the theories and research in biopsychology. Introduction to Biopsychology offers everything you need to know about the brain and its behaviour—from sensory systems, eating disorders and sleep to drugs, language and memory. It provides a comprehensive look at the sensory systems which affect our perception and understanding of the world around us, and a unique insight into degenerative diseases of the brain including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases.

Each chapter is thoroughly illustrated with engaging diagrams, gures, tables, examples, boxed materials and recent research studies to make the content easy to understand and application-oriented. This book will help biopsychology students, with no background knowledge in biology or psychology, keep abreast of the latest developments in this dynamic and forward-looking area of psychology.

Key Features:

  • Concise and well-balanced coverage of biopsychology
  • Includes latest research on the neural basis of mental illness, degenerative diseases and genetics
  • Each chapter aided by insightful pedagogical features such as learning outcomes, key terms and MCQs to test your understanding
  • A student-friendly approach and lucid language for easy comprehension of the Subject
