Thanks to the explosion of work in the neurosciences, each of the seven editions has included more neural details than the one before. Thus the time has come to revise the title to reflect the evolution of both the book and the field: Behavioral Neuroscience. We work hard to be judicious in what we add, and still it seems like a waterfall of new information and ideas. Over new papers are cited in this edition. If that sounds like a lot, let us give you a perspective on how many new papers were omitted.
On our newsfeed site behavioralneuroscience8e. Those are just the findings that were important enough to get the attention of mass media reporters. Despite being very selective in sampling from this deluge of new information, we have made substantial changes in every chapter. Chapter 13 contains a discussion of new evidence that long-lasting metabolic changes work against permanent weight loss, and in Chapter 17 we outline the growing consensus for a dual process model of human memory that distinguishes between familiarity and recollection.
