MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
This book presents a series of essays on neuroscientific aspects of human nature and instinctive behavior, individually acquired (learned) behavior, human bipedal locomotion, voluntary movement, and the general problem of how the brain controls behavior. The author argues that concepts of the mind based on ancient Greek philosophy are past usefulness, and that modern animal behavior studies provide a better guide to the functional organization of the brain.
Contents:
The mind and the explanation of behavior.- An introduction to behavior for neuroscientists.- Brain organization and behavior: The big picture.- Human origins and adaptations.- Human instinctive behavior.- Memory and experience-dependent behavior.- Neural mechanisms of locomotion in humans.- The neural control of voluntary movement in humans.- About hunting.
