Designed to complement "Essentials of Neural Science and Behavior", this study guide provides a review of the basic principles of brain and behaviour for undergraduate students. Material is reinforced by reading the guide's overviews and objectives and then studying the corresponding chapters in the textbook. After completing each chapter, the questions in the guide should be attempted to solidify information learned in the text.
