Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Neurobiology of Spatial Behaviour is a crucial new reference in the dynamic field of navigation. Kate Jeffery has assembled the creme de la creme of authors on current issues in spatial cognition and, in doing so, has produced the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference on the neurobiological and behavioural mechanisms of navigation. This book is essential reading for anyone who is curious about how human and non-human animals find their way about, and how space is represented in the brain. Dr. Nicola S. Clayton, Reader in Comparative Cognition, Clare College, Cambridge. This book explores the relationship between cellular processes and animal behaviour. It does this by focusing on the domain of navigation, bringing together scientists from either side of the brain-behaviour divide in an attempt to explain the linkage between spatial behaviour and the underlying activity of neurons.
