1 2 3 AN INTRODUCTION TO BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR 4 ABOUT THE COVER Dr. Greg Dunn (artist and neuroscientist) and Dr. Brian Edwards (artist and applied physicist) created the artwork Self Reflected to elucidate the nature of human consciousness, bridging the connection between the macroscopic brain and the microscopic behavior of neurons. This work of art and science is not a scan of any kind, but was meticulously made from scratch through a complex process of hand drawing, deep neuroscience research, algorithmic simulations, photolithography, gilding, and strategic lighting design. Self Reflected offers an unprecedented insight of the brain into itself, revealing through a technique called reflective microetching the enormous scope of beautiful and delicately balanced neural choreographies designed to reflect what is occurring in our own minds as we observe this work of art. Self Reflected was created to remind us that the most marvelous machine in the known universe is at the core of our being and is the root of our shared humanity. As of 2018, Self Reflected is the most complex artistic depiction of the brain in the world. You can find more information about the project including video, images, prints, and descriptions of the process, as well as other brain and mind themed artwork, at gregadunn.com. Self Reflected was funded by the National Science Foundation, #ISE/AISL #1443767. 5 AN INTRODUCTION TO BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR SIXTH EDITION BRYAN KOLB University of Lethbridge IAN Q. WHISHAW University of Lethbridge G. CAMPBELL TESKEY University of Calgary 6 This book is dedicated to our longtime collaborator and friend Timothy Schallert, a Professor of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin, who passed away on May 30, 2018, with Parkinson disease. Tim loved playing basketball and throwing the football, which he did with his children and with us. He also loved studying behavior. Tim had a gift for behavioral analysis and was the best rat whisperer. He could watch an animal that was not moving and ask, “Why?” Then later, he could tell you why. He traveled the world, collaborating with both neurologists and neuroscientists, showing others how to properly analyze behavior. His research, focused on Parkinson disease, resulted in numerous novel observations and insights about the behavior of a rat model of Parkinsonism. He had a wonderful sense of humor and is widely missed by the neuroscience community. 7 Senior Vice President, Content Strategy: Charles Linsmeier Program Director, Social Sciences: Shani Fisher Executive Program Manager for Psychology: Daniel DeBonis Development Editor: Andrew Sylvester Editorial Assistant: Anna Munroe Marketing Manager: Clay Bolton Marketing Assistant: Chelsea Simens Media Editor, Social Sciences: Stefani Wallace Director, Content Management Enhancement: Tracey Kuehn Senior Managing Editor: Lisa Kinne Senior Content Project Manager: Vivien Weiss Project Managers: Andrea Stefanowicz & Misbah Ansari, Lumina Datamatics, Inc.
