Hormones, Brain and Behavior

4th Edition
February 8, 2027
Raúl Paredes
English

Hormones, Brain and Behavior, Fourth Edition offers a state-of-the-art overview of hormonally-mediated behaviors, including an extensive discussion of the effects of hormones on insects, fish, amphibians, birds, rodents, and humans. Entries have been carefully designed to provide a valuable source of information for students and researchers in neuroendocrinology and those working in related areas, such as neuroscience, biology, psychology, psychiatry, and neurology. This fourth Edition has been substantially restructured to include both foundational information and recent developments in the field. Continuing the emphasis on interdisciplinary research and practical applications, the book includes articles aligned in five main subject sections. We propose maintaining several chapters, fusing some of the themes, and including new chapters on topics like alloparental behavior, depression and sexual behavior, neural plasticity, and sexual behavior, animal models to evaluate sexual orientation (including asexual orientation), effects of drugs of abuse and sexual behavior, adult neurogenesis and reproductive behaviors, neurobiology of sexual partner loss, mate choice. We propose to change the name of section 5 from “Development of Hormone-Behavior Relationships” to “Development and regulation of Hormone-Behavior Relationships”, which will better represent the topics covered in the 2 subsections “Early life stages” and “Later life stages”. Most of the chapters from the last Edition will be maintained in the new Edition. This reference provides unique treatment of all major vertebrate and invertebrate model systems with excellent opportunities for relating behavior to molecular genetics. The topics cover an unusual breadth (from molecules to ecophysiology), ranging from basic science to clinical research, making this reference of interest to a broad range of scientists in a variety of fields.

The Chronnectome

1st Edition
December 1, 2026
Vince Calhoun + 2 more
English

Dynamic spontaneous functional interactions across the brain can provide insights into the inherent functional organization principles of the human brain and expand our understanding of brain disorders and mental illnesses. Characterizing and evaluating these properties of the brain may lead to identifying biomarkers and tools for prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment. Among the various brain imaging techniques, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a non-invasive technique, has been used to collect data from the whole brain, and arguably provides the best trade-off between spatial and temporal resolutions. The Chronnectome: Mapping the Dynamics of Brain Function focuses on whole-brain dynamic functional interactions calculated from fMRI. It introduces the concepts of dynamic functional connectivity and presents a wide range of existing approaches and their methods, while discussing their cognitive, clinical, and neurological relevance. It assumes no previous knowledge, making the book an accessible introduction to readers from a broad range of backgrounds.

Comprehensive Consciousness

2nd Edition
September 1, 2026
Antonino Raffone
English

The field of consciousness research has developed over the last decades by interdisciplinary and multi-method investigations, through the integration of theoretical, empirical and clinical studies. Consciousness research is relevant across philosophy, psychology, neurology, cognitive and affective neurosciences, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence, among other disciplines. The implicated research methods include psychophysical, psychophysiological and behavioral methods, subjective reporting (with or without trained introspection), electrophysiology and neuroimaging, the brain lesion method, and computational modelling. Consciousness has also been studied in developmental, lifespan, comparative, and evolutionary perspectives. Insights have also been gained by deficient consciousness (e.g., due to brain lesions) and enhanced awareness (e.g., related to meditation states and traits). Research that once was separate inquiries in discreet disciplines is converging. List serves and conferences focused on consciousness are proliferating. New journals have emerged in this field. A huge number of monographs and edited treatises have recently been published on consciousness, but there is no recognized entry point to the field, no comprehensive summary. This encyclopedia is that reference, from the first edition to the second one. Organized thematically, coverage encompasses a summary of major research and scientific thought regarding the nature of consciousness, the neural circuitry involved, how the brain, body, and world interact, and our understanding of subjective states. The work includes contributions covering neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and artificial intelligence to provide a comprehensive backdrop to recent and ongoing investigations into the nature of conscious experience from a philosophical, psychological, and biological perspective. Sections are: 1. Philosophy and History - Philosophy - History 2. Concepts, methodological principles and theories - Paradigms and Perspectives - Core Concepts - Methodological Principles - Theories 3. Psychology of consciousness - Memory - Action - Emotion - Self - States of Consciousness - Higher Level Cognition - Social Psychology 4. Psychology of consciousness, perception and attention - Perception - Attention 5. Neuroscience of consciousness - Cognitive neuroscience and neurobiology - Neurology

Encyclopedia of Psychotherapy

2nd Edition
July 1, 2026
David Reitman + 1 more
English

Traditional encyclopedias present information in alphabetical order and are somewhat held hostage to a static structure. A digital reference can be sorted and organized more dynamically. We take advantage of this more flexible structure by cross-referencing contributions so that readers can create their own structure, one that suits their learning needs and those of their students and trainees. For example, a reader could select “child and adolescent” entries and directly cross-reference with “behavioral or cognitive/behavioral”. In this edition all content is updated, and most content areas will be retained, focusing on major modes of psychotherapy practice and core psychotherapy processes. Outdated entries have been culled or combined with other entries in a manner that better communicates the content to present-day readers (e.g., “water-misting therapy” can be addressed in a more cohesive entry covering the use of punishment techniques more generally).

Decision Neuroscience

2nd Edition
July 1, 2026
Jean-Claude Dreher
English

Decision Neuroscience: An Integrative Perspective presents the most recent and compelling lesional, neuroimaging, electrophysiological, and computational studies, in combination with hormonal and genetic studies, which have led to a clearer understanding of the neural mechanisms behind reward and decision making. The neural bases of reward and decision-making processes are of critical interest to scientists because of the fundamental role that reward plays in a number of behavioral processes (such as motivation learning, and cognition), and because the neural bases have theoretical and clinical implications for understanding dysfunctions of the dopaminergic system in several neurological and psychiatric disorders. This book will constitute a comprehensive update of ground-breaking work addressing fundamental questions about the nature of behavior: how does the brain process reward and how does it make decisions when facing multiple options? And will feature entirely new content, as well as expanded coverage on drug and behavioral addiction, the role of subthalamus stimulation in neurological disorders and neuroeconomics.
