When are we responsible for our own actions, and when are we in the grip of biological forces beyond our control? What determines who we fall in love with? The intensity of our spiritual lives? The degree of our aggressive impulses? These questions fall into the scientific province of behavioral biology, the field that explores interactions between the brain, mind, body, and environment that have a surprising influence on how we behave.

Life changing neuroscience

If you could sum up Biology and Human Behavior: The Neurological Origins of Individuality, 2nd Edition in three words, what would they be?
Cutting edge neuroscience!
What did you like best about this story?
The professor really knows how to captivate an audience. His tonal inflections keep you from drifting off as well as hanging onto the edge of your seat. The speed in which he delivers the content is perfect for me. I'm only just getting started on my life journey of becoming a neuroscientist and Professor Robert Sapolsky has now served to equally inspire me as much as my neuroscience hero Dr Bruce Perry! The only thing that could possibly make this better is a downloadable file of power points that he used or handouts to help reinforce picture representations of difficult concepts. Apart from that, this lecture is nothing short of amazing and life changing!
Have you listened to any of Professor Robert Sapolsky’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't listened to the Professor previously, however I will endeavor to one day download all of his audio books if they are anything like the quality delivered in this audio book.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Finally being able to understand how neurons work and communicate to each other. Understanding the process of learning and beginning to understand the processes behind the lymbic system.
