Synopsis:
The profound effect that certain drugs have on behavior has ignited popular curiosity and has prompted a scientific search for the brain mechanisms that might be altered with drugs.
Written by Jaime Diaz, an active neuroscientist, the new third edition of How Drugs Influence Behavior: A Neuro-Behavioral Approach helps readers learn and understand how drugs alter behavior.
Traditionally any undergraduate course of study in drugs has required extensive prior training in chemistry and physiology. However, courses now have a surprisingly large number of students interested in drugs and behavior that were not in pre- medical, or biology, or physiology programs. Other readers may include an attorney seeking preliminary information for a case or social worker wanting to better understand his/her client’s behavior, and may especially include a concerned parent that wants to stay current with this vital field.
How Drugs Influence Behavior teaches basic principles of pharmacology and neurophysiology in such a way that a person motivated to learn can not only understand them but also apply them to the issues surrounding drugs and behavior.
How Drugs Influence Behavior: A Neuro-Behavioral Approach:
- Integrates a chapter order that illustrates certain principles about behavioral neuropharmacology in a sequence that seems to facilitate the students’ understanding of the salient issues.
- Helps readers become more aware of the issues surrounding drugs and behavior, helping them see that many of these issues are constantly in the news and applied on a day-to-day basis in their lives.
- Is student friendly! Each chapter includes introductory topics, practice exams, and activities to assess retention of concepts presented.
