For courses in Physiological Psychology and BiopsychologyAn up-to-date, comprehensive, and accessible overview of behavioral neuroscience
Physiology of Behavior provides a scholarly yet accessible portrait of the dynamic interaction between biology and behavior. Authors Neil Carlson and Melissa Birkett drew upon their experience teaching and working with students to create this comprehensive and accessible guide for students of behavioral neuroscience. In addition to inclusion of the latest research in the field, the 13th Edition offers a new chapter on development of the nervous system that features information about disorders of development, autism spectrum disorders, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
As an undergraduate psychology major at Cornell University, Melissa A. Birkett discovered courses in biopsychology, behavior, endocrinology, and evolutionary psychology. There, she was introduced to interdisciplinary research incorporating multiple perspectives in the challenging task of understanding behavior. She became interested in learning about behavior and its underlying mechanisms. She worked as an undergraduate research assistant in several laboratories on projects ranging from insect behavior to sleep in undergraduates. Those formative experiences and interactions with several influential research mentors convinced her to pursue a career in research.
Birkett completed her Ph.D. in the Neuroscience and Behavior program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (where Neil Carlson was a faculty member at the time). In 2007, she accepted a faculty position at Northern Arizona University in the Department of Psychological Sciences, and in the fall of 2018 became an assistant professor at Southern Oregon University. Birkett currently conducts research related to the stress response and teaches undergraduate courses in psychology, research methods, statistics, behavioral neuroscience, and psychopharmacology. Each semester, she supervises student researchers and seeks to provide them with the kinds of opportunities she found valuable as a student. Her work has been recognized with awards for both outstanding teaching and teaching innovation, and she has contributed to several publications on best practices in teaching neuroscience.
