In recognition of the opening of the William T. and Gail Weyerhaeuser Center for Health Sciences, the Library is pleased to announce the acquisition of an important new online reference resource to support the Social and Health Sciences.
The Encyclopedia of Behavioral Neuroscience was “highly recommended” by Choice Reviews Online. The reviewer wrote, “The Encyclopedia of Behavioral Neuroscience (EBN) is an excellent resource providing detailed information on specific behavioral neuroscience topics.”
Publishers Description: “Behavioral Neuroscientists study the behavior of animals and humans and the neurobiological and physiological processes that control it. Behavior is the ultimate function of the nervous system, and the study of it is very multidisciplinary. Disorders of behavior in humans touch millions of people’s lives significantly, and it is of paramount importance to understand pathological conditions such as addictions, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, autism among others, in order to be able to develop new treatment possibilities. Encyclopedia of Behavioral Neuroscience is the first and only multi-volume reference to comprehensively cover the foundation knowledge in the field. The important research in all areas of Behavioral Neuroscience is covered in a total of 210 chapters on topics ranging from neuroethology and learning and memory, to behavioral disorders and psychiatric diseases.”
