Each of the chapters is authored by experienced and active researchers in their field who provide authoritative reviews of the latest developments in psychobiology.It is essential reading for both established researchers in the field of psychobiology, as well as advanced students wishing to learn more about both the historical foundations and latest developments in this rapidly growing field.
