Biologie van de psychologie neemt je mee in de fascinerende wisselwerking tussen biologie en psychologie. De mens is een complex wezen, niet alleen gevormd door biologische processen, maar ook door psychologische invloeden. Hoe beïnvloedt onze genetische opmaak ons gedrag? Welke rol speelt ons zenuwstelsel bij het aansturen van gedrag, gedachten en emoties? En hoe ontwikkelen onze hersenen zich, zelfs ver voorbij de volwassenheid?

Dit handboek biedt je unieke blik op hoe het menselijk brein ...

Philosophy of biology is one of the most exciting new areas in philosophy and is attracting much attention from working scientists. This Companion, edited by two of the founders of the field, includes essays by senior scholars and up-and-coming younger scholars who collectively examine the main areas of the subject.

This textbook provides an integrated physical and biochemical foundation for undergraduate students majoring in biology or health sciences. It is particularly suitable for students planning to enter the pharmaceutical industry. This new generation of molecular biologists and biochemists will harness the tools and insights of physics and chemistry to exploit the emergence of genomics and systems-level information in biology, and will shape the future of medicine.
