Dense. Undergrad-ish, but dense.

[M. Oğuz Karakaşlı · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hatırlıyorum, bunu üniversite ikinci sınıfta falan okumuştum... Norobilime ilgimi körükleyen kitaplardan biridir. Yalnız bu dersten kalmıştım onu da hatırlıyorum :) Siz siz olun benim kadar detaya inip kafanızı karıştırmayın.

Kitap karışık düzensiz buna katılıyorum ama güzel bir başvuru kitabıdır ve gerçekten kitabın başlığında da açıkça belirttiği gibi şayet psikolojik davranışlarımızın nörolojik temellerine göz atmak isterseniz buyrunuz elbette...

İnsanın tüm düşüncelerinin, duygularının, davranışlarının ve hatta hayallerinin arkasındaki o karmaşık ama büyüleyici organın, yani beynimizin sırlarını aralıyor bu muazzam kitap. Nörobilim ve psikolojinin kesişim noktasında durarak, "davranışlarımızın biyolojik temelleri nelerdir?" sorusuna bilimsel ve detaylı cevaplar veriyor.

Alanında bir klasiklerden kabul edilen (her ne kadar öğrenciler nefret etse de) bu kitap; sadece bilgi vermekle kalmıyor, aynı zamanda beynin inanılmaz karmaşıklığını ve uyum yeteneğini oldukça detaylı ve kapsamlı bir şekilde gözlerimizinbönüne seriyor.

Eğer insan davranışlarının arkasındaki biyolojik makineyi, yani beynimizi derinlemesine anlamak istiyorsanız, psikoloji, nörobilim, tıp veya biyoloji alanında öğrenciyseniz ya da sadece bu konuya çok meraklıysanız, bu kitap sizler için bir başucu kaynağı olacaktır.

Kısacası bu ders kitabı; "Ben kimim, neden böyleyim?" sorusunun en bilimsel cevaplarını arayanlar için sevgili organımız beynin kapılarını aralayan bir rehber.

Read for: SS5756 - Biological Basis of Behavior

Is this the worst textbook ever?
With this presentation of text,pictures and ideas, this is almost criminally unhelpful and I have more than foundation knowledge in both psychology and biology.
If you want to go for depth, like med school level of depth (in an enlightening way), try the recently retitled textbook by Breedlove, "Behavioral Neuroscience"
If you want a more accessible one, probably Pinel's "Biopsychology".
The gold standard is very much still Kalat's "Biological Psychology".

I appreciated the information in this book as I went through a Biological Psychology course in college.
The information is straightforward and the pictures help me to understand the processes described in the text. It is easier to read than other neuroscience texts I have read.

The organization of the chapters is a bit confusing, so it is more helpful to jump around rather than read beginning to end.

Excellent study! One of my favorite classes!

[Justin · Rating 3 out of 5]

A lot of interesting info here, but Carlson wrecks it with his horrible way of ordering everything. He goes back and forth in between concepts when it would be so much easier to just go in a straight line with all of the material.

Consistently engaging textbook
