N. R. Carlson's "Foundations of Physiological Psychology"

Paper Summary:

In Chapter 4 the author explains that the use of drugs to treat psychological conditions has a risk-reward ratio that must be carefully monitored by serious practitioners with a view toward ongoing research.
Chapter 8 defines sleep as a physiological behavior, which is directly the converse of physiological behavior that involves active movement. Chapter 15 is a discussion of schizophrenia which is divided into a definition and description of typical symptoms, including the issue of inherited tendency toward the disorder, an extended discussion of brain-research-based drugs and monoamine (dopamine) intervention for alleviation of disorder symptoms, and the evidence of neural processes of schizophrenia that position it as a neurological disorder.
