Principles of Psychobiology is a new Windows 95/98/NT software package developed for introductory students in Psychobiology, Neuroscience, Neurobiology, or Biology. The software is intended to serve as a supplement to any current introductory textbook in the allied neurosciences, and it effectively replaces standard printed study guides and/or neuroanatomy "coloring books". The software was developed by Phillip S. Lasiter, Ph.D., Professor of Psychobiology and Neuroscience at Florida Atlantic University. Topics presented in software modules include cell biology, electrical theory, resting membrane potentials, action potentials, membrane conduction, introductory anatomy of the human brain, neurochemistry, sensory transduction, vision, audition, somatosensation, olfaction, and taste. Principles of 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 available with the PC. A student Notebook is available in every module that provides a concise review of critical information that has just been studied. An on-line test bank is available in every module that includes practice essay and multiple-choice questions. Psychobiology Help provides extensive treatment of background information, in addition to the Active Glossary which features pronunciations of terms with the PC's multimedia sound system. All anatomy modules (8 total) contain the Macroscope Viewer and Lab Draw, an easy-to-learn point-and-click graphical coloring system that allows students to prepare "coloring book" drawings from an archive of 256-color high-resolution coronal sections of the human forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. Hardware Requirements: Windows 95 or 98 operating system, Pentium Processor/133 Mhz or faster, 16 Mb RAM (32 Mb recommended), 8514 Display Standard (1024 pixels X 768 pixels X 8-bit color) REQUIRED, Mouse, CD-ROM drive. Printer and sound card optional.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Principles of Psychobiology serves as a self-contained tutorial for critical concepts in the brain sciences. Software modules employ "dynamic illustrations" that provide students with some of the best illustrations of difficult concepts; The illustrations, themselves, allow students to manipulate and explore major concepts -- This interactive feature of the software cannot be duplicated by traditional textbooks and printed study guides. Principles of Psychobiology is a powerful software package, yet it is easy to use. One major aim in software development has been to develop software for students who have little or no prior computer experience. The software has been extensively tested by students in the classroom, and results of these student surveys have been used to develop an instructional system actually works. Windows operating system, Pentium Processor 133/Mhz or faster, 16 MB RAM (32 mb recommended), 8514 Display Standard (1024 pixels X 768 pixels X 8-bit color) REQUIRED: Mouse, CD-ROM drive. Printer and sound card optional.

I used this software with my book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Psychobiology: Interactive Study Guide for the Allied Neurosciences (CD-ROM)
My teacher used this software in our spring psychobiology course to help explain textbook chapters. I bought the textbook study guide and the software to help me study. I don't have much experience with computers, and was afraid to try it, but ended up using the software almost entirely to study the information. This was so much better because I could see many things that were not explained very well in the textbook (and lecture) and confused me. I really liked the software and would recommend this software to other students. The software was about the same price as the study guide, and I much preferred the software.

The best, most user friendly psychobiology tool ever!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Psychobiology: Interactive Study Guide for the Allied Neurosciences (CD-ROM)
This guide will ease you along the path to neuroscience knowledge in a way that is spectacular. Without question, "Principles of Psychobiology" will make mastering the topic easier. It's point and click, no hassles...just enjoy the material. The graphics are outstanding, appropriate for newcomers to the field, but excellent for more advanced students too. It will move you through this difficult subject area in a painfree way. I'd recommend to it to teachers and students alike...If your students have access to home computers or can work in a computer lab they will benefit from it. It would be appropriate for anyone from upper secondary level through graduate school. It would also be good for someone just interested in the field. There's a cool coloring book too...allows us to get all that creative stuff into a format we can print and hang on the frig.
