This book studies the relationship between biological factors (mostly brain activity) and behavior. Kalat aptly and eloquently shows what biology has to do with psychology and he captures and engages students' attention. The book shows students how such aspects of brain physiology as neuro-transmission and neuroanatomy relate to ''real'' psychological topics such as language, sexual behavior, drug addiction, depression, and schizophrenia. The Fifth Edition has been completely updated with the latest research in neurobiology. The whole book has been fine-tuned, yet the elements have been retained that made Kalat so popular with students and professors alike, his emphasis on the human phenomena, the effects of physiology on behavior, and engaging student interest rather than churning out facts. He continues to keep the treatment of the sophisticated content approachable for a wide audience, and he provides a stimulating text without losing students in the details.

Highly recommended
This book is a keeper. It's been ~3 decades since I took a science course at the collegiate level, & wasn't thrilled at needing to take this course, esp. when it involved WAY more biology than psychology. Without this book, I would have floundered. Its detail and graphics are superb. References to the latest knowledge base regarding brain functions & their psychological ramifications both intrigue & inspire. Real-life stories offer perspective. The author is most definitely a respected expert in this field. I'm sure I will utilize this book as reference material in the future.
