Principles of Psychobiology:Interactive Study Guide for the Allied Neurosciences

"The best, most user friendly psychobiology tool ever!!!" Customer Comments:Amazon.com

Software  Description 

Principlesof Psychobiology incorporates several innovative tools that take the place of conventional textbook study guides, and the software allows students to focus on critical material using a variety of multimedia presentations commonly available with the PC. Extensive animations are used to teach conceptually-difficult material such as ion flow, membrane potentials, neurotransmitter release and degradation, gross neuroanatomy, and sensory transduction and receptor systems. Students explore modules that progress from membrane potentials to sensory transduction and receptor systems.   Students use a complete online manual that can be viewed or printed at any point in the programs.  A student Notebook is contained in all modules that provides a concise review of critical information that has just been studied, in addition to an online test bank with practice essay and multiple-choice questions. Psychobiology Help provides extensive treatment of background information, in addition to the Active Glossary which features pronunciations of difficult terms with the PC's multimedia sound system. All anatomy modules (8 total) contain the Macroscope Viewer and Lab Draw,a easy-to-learn point-and-click viewing/drawing system that allows students to learn introductory human neuroanatomy by the use of a  "coloring book" feature which features labeled  high-resolution coronal sections of the human forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain as coloring book templates.     Principles of Psychobiology also employs "dynamic illustrations" that provide students with some of the best illustrations of concepts and facts -- The illustrations, themselves,are animated, and allow students to manipulate and explore facts critical to the major topics -- This feature cannot be provided by traditional textbooks and study guides.  Principles of Psychobiology was developed by a university professor using knowledge of what is needed to convey critical concepts to introductory students, and the software has been extensively tested by students in the classroom.
