Biological Aspects of Behaviour

Several areas of great relevance to the study of behaviour within the biological sciences are discussed in this book.

Chapters cover behavioural genetics, ecology and evolution; the "organ of behaviour" (the brain) and its basic states; and how drugs affect our brains and thus our behaviour.The Longman Essential Psychology series provides comprehensive and concise coverage of all the major topics studied in undergraduate psychology courses throughout the UK, Europe and the USA.

Each volume deals with a core module and is written by an international list of contributors who are all actively involved in research.
