Neurobiology is a complex subject and if you combine neurobiology with how it effects behavior and behavior in dogs specifically... tough. Probably your best bet is the Handbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training Volume One by Steven Lindsay: Chapter 3 is titled Neurobiology of Behavior and Learning. We have a large body of scientific knowledge about the human brain. I've found it useful to understand how the various parts of the human brain work and then understand how a dog's brain structure differs from the human brain structure. Much can be inferred from this comparison. Hope this helps! Hi Terri, what you’re looking for is a tall order.

Preferably something that is geared toward the educated layman as opposed to a trained vet—so that it is reasonably understandable. Is there anything out there like that? Thanks, Terri Hi,
