Book Description
This highly successful and student-friendly text looks at the relationship between biological factors (mostly brain activity) and behavior, and shows students what biology has to do with psychology. As he captures and engages readers' interest, Kalat reveals how such aspects of brain activity as neurotransmission and neuroanatomy relate to "real" psychological topics such as language and learning, sexual behavior, anxiety, aggressive behavior, depression, and schizophrenia. Now thoroughly revised throughout with new art, research, examples, and more coverage of genetics and evolution, this latest edition maintains the strengths of past editions while adding a whole new look and feel--in less than 600 pages!

 Not well define enough.....
This book is good for those who have some basic knowledge in biology. For those who doesn't, would find it hard to understand. I have compared it with other text books and I felt that some of the terms are defined very briefly.

 Highly recommended
I highly recommend this book. As an undergraduate psychology student who just completed a physiological psychology course using this text, I can assure professors that it is a very useful, clear, and well organized textbook. It is much better than most college textbooks.
