Handbook of Neuroscience for the Behavioral

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, Volume II provides psychologists and other behavioral scientists with a solid foundation in the increasingly critical field of neuroscience. Current and accessible, this volume provides the information they need to understand the new biological bases, research tools, and implications of brain and gene research as it relates to psychology.

Gary Berntson is Professor of Psychology, Psychiatry, and Pediatrics at Ohio State University where he is a principle researcher and faculty member in behavioral neuroscience program. He has published widely in journals and books on social, biological, and neurological psychology.

John Cacioppo is the Tiffany and Margaret Blake Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago. He serves as the Director of the Social Psychology Program and the co-Director of the Institute for Mind and Biology at The University of Chicago. He specializes in social neuroscience, affect and emotion, attitudes, persuasion & prejudice, and social connectedness and health.
