Behavioral Neurobiology introduces the fascinating field of neuroethology - the study of the neurobiological processes underlying animal behavior. Written in a lively, easy to read style, it examines many of the major findings that have helped to unravel this intricate subject, as well as the key experiments that underpin them.

An authoritative introduction to the fundamentals of behavioral neurobiology that examines not only the major findings in each area, but also experimental approaches used to obtain these results and the people behind them
Summaries of key points, exercises, and further reading suggestions reinforce essential facts and themes and enable the reader to check and develop their understanding
The comparative zoological approach emphasizes common ideas, giving students a thorough understanding of the principal concepts of behavioral neurobiology without overwhelming them with excessive detail
A wide range of examples and detailed case studies illustrate key ideas and concepts, while boxes throughout the text containing biographical sketches of eminent past and present researchers bring the past to life.
Assumes no background knowledge of animal behavior or neurobiology and so is suitable for students starting out in the subject.
