This book combines neuroscience with basic psychological to demonstrate how the brain and neurotransmitters influence human behavior. The impact of neurobiology, endocrinology, and physiology on human behavior are explored as you learn about brain functioning and psychology. Topics include the examination of functional imaging studies; electrical brain stimulation; the physiological mechanisms of addiction, such as OxyContin; smoking addictions, and smoking cessation. Also discussed are genetic screening, split-brain patients, and conjoined twins as well as sexual differentiation, looking at the prenatal influences on gender-typical behavior.
