Abstract.
My primary goal in writing this text through each edition has been to show the importance of neuroscience, genetics, and evolution for psychology and not just biology. I have focused on the biological mechanisms of such topics as language, leaing, sexual behavior, anxiety, aggression, consciousness, attention, abnormal behavior, and the mind-body relationship. I hope that by the end of the book readers will clearly see what the study of the brain has to do with "real psychology" and that they will be interested in leaing more.
I assume that the reader has a basic background in psychology and biology and understands such basic terms as classical conditioning, reinforcement, vertebrate, mammal, gene, chromosome, cell, and mitochondrion. I also assume a high school chemistry course. Those with a weak background in chemistry or a fading memory of it may consult Appendix A.
