Physiology of Behavior (11th Edition)

Physiology Of Behavior 11th Edition PDF provides an overview of the many ways in which neural, hormonal, and genetic mechanisms control behavior in both humans and animals. When we refer to a physical process or mechanism as controlling behavior, we mean that it contributes to a person’s urge to act in certain ways. In other words, our thoughts and feelings are not always arbitrary or incomprehensible; they are often rooted in our physiology.
