As technology has made imaging of the brain noninvasive and inexpensive, nearly every psychologist in every subfield is using pictures of the brain to show biological connections to feelings and behavior. Handbook of Neuroscience for the Behavioral Sciences provides psychologists and other behavioral scientists with a solid foundation in the increasingly critical field of neuroscience. Current and accessible, it provides in two comprehensive volumes the information they need to understand the new biological bases, research tools, and implications of brain and gene research as it relates to psychology.
"There are many things to like about Gary Berntson and John Cacioppo's two-volume Handbook of Neuroscience for the Behavioral Sciences. It is well written, which is sometimes a challenge in a multiply-authored work; the references are up-to-date; and it is theoretically coherent, which is a tribute to a fine editing job. Readers will appreciate the fact that alternative models and interpretations are discussed where there are controversies and, for the most part, relevant historical information is provided. When asked for a good neuroscience reference source, I used to recommend Kandel, Schwartz, and Jessell (2000); now I will recommend Berntson and Cacioppo's text." (PsycCRITIQUES, June 23, 2010)
