The book frames core questions about how evolutionary history shapes behavior, how genes contribute to behavioral control, and how biological systems encode, store, and retrieve information. It also highlights how disease and damage can disrupt these mechanisms, linking foundational science to understanding behavior and learning.","Behavioral Neuroscience  \nGEORGE S PI LICH  \nWashington College  \nVICE PRESIDENT  \nEDITORIAL DIRECTOR  \nEXECUTIVE EDITOR  \nSR.
