Several areas of great relevance to the study of behaviour within the biological sciences are discussed in this book. Chapters cover behavioural genetics, ecology and evolution; the "organ of behaviour" (the brain) and its basic states; and how drugs affect our brains and thus our behaviour.

Biological Aspects of Behaviour focuses on those areas of psychology which overlap with the biological sciences. This concise text covers topics such as: the main research methods and findings of both human and animal behaviour genetics; evolutionary aspects of human and animal behaviour; hereditary aspects of human intelligence and mental disorders; the structure and functions of the major anatomical units of the nervous system and the brain; the behavioural and physiological properties of sleep and dreaming and psychological features of dreams; the classification of psychoactive drugs and the way drugs affect mood and states of consciousness and are used to treat behavioural disorders.
