NEw TO ThiS EDiTiON • The scientifi c rigor of the text is maintained with new and updated topics, including the role of neural connectivity and synchrony, chang- ing views of Alzheimer's disease, the unique behavior of place cells, and emerging understanding of epigen- etic infl uences on behavior. • Updated opening vignettes, "Application" and "In the News" features, frequent examples as well as illustrative case studies draw stu- dents into the material. For example, a new "In the News" in Chapter 7 focuses on the Caster Semenya gender case. • The broader societal relevance of biopsychology has been strength- ened, covering diverse topics such as ethical implications of stem cell research, costs of addictions and disorders, new strategies for treating brain and spinal cord damage, and more. • 500 new references and 50 illustra- tions have been added, and 60 illustrations have been revised to enhance their educational impact.

This text effectively illustrates basic research methods and design principles by uniquely using relevant examples from neuroscience such as the principles of design of fMRI studies, the use of transgenic mice, and conditional gene knockouts. The author also addresses basic professional ethics, fundamental statistics and data analysis tools, the range of possible experimental designs (from simple descriptive studies to multifactorial designs), and ways to control unwanted variables and avoid common pitfalls.
