Our neuroscience and psychology list takes a broad approach to understanding how the brain and mind work, embracing explorations of the neural basis of cognition and behavior, from how emotions are generated to how we navigate our world. Reflecting the field’s interdisciplinarity, authors hail from psychology, cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, genetics, and computational neuroscience, as well as allied disciplines such as biology, physics, computer science, and economics.
Our books’ methodologies range from animal models and theory to imaging and behavioral techniques. Spanning genres, we publish monographs, textbooks, and works of popular science that introduce nonexperts to key questions and exciting research areas in brain science.
