Ethical Issues in Behavioral Neuroscience

“This is an excellent, thorough collection of essays
on ethical issues in behavioral neuroscience, with a significant portion of the
book dedicated to the often neglected ethical issues related to behavioral
neuroscience research in animals. … This is intended primarily for behavioral neuroscientists
and neuroethicists, animal science researchers and ethicists, as well as
scholars interested in this topic.” (Kathrine Bendtsen, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2015)
