Drawing on decades of teaching and research experience, Bryan Kolb and Ian Whishaw offer a proven framework for exploring the biological basis of behavior. Each chapter of An Introduction to Brain and Behavior explores a specific question asked by working neuroscientists and students (i.e. "Why do we have a brain?" "How is the nervous system organized?"). This approach brings coherence to a vast subject, and helps students understand what information is important as their study of brain and behavior progresses chapter to chapter.
Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury from: American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc. 5 used from $79.95 8 Thirdparty New from $95.20 Edition: 2 Media: Hardcover EAN: 9781585621057 ISBN: 1585621056 Number Of Pages: 771 Publication Date: 2004-12 Publisher: American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc.
Product Description: Each year in the United States, more than 3 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Associated annual costs exceed $48 billion, yet media and policy makers have largely ignored this major public health problem. Moreover, most clinicians lack experience in treating and evaluating patients with TBI and thus are unaware of its many subtle but disabling psychiatric symptoms. This critically important textbook the timely successor to the popular 1994 compilation by the same editors fills that void, providing a wealth of scientific, yet easy-to-understand information on the complex neuropsychiatric sequelae of TBI. Written by recognized experts and designed to help treat patients in the clinical setting, this volume presents a truly comprehensive, clinically relevant approach based on current research and clinical practice. As such, it is the ideal tool for helping to educate mental health care professionals about the devastating consequences of TBI.
