    Progress in Physiological Psychology, Volume 2 is a five-chapter text that covers the advances both in experimental and theoretical studies on physiological psychology. Chapter 1 deals with the application of recording of cortical steady potentials (DC potentials) to problems of motivation and learning, reflecting electrical changes correlated with these aspects of behavior and suggesting that steady potential shift may be a neurophysiological manifestation of Hull's behavioral concept of reaction potential. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the neurological mechanisms at work in learning and memory, especially the electrophysiological and neurochemical processes. Chapter 3 considers first the general properties of populations and communities of plants and animals, followed by a discussion on the influence of population pressures on various stages of reproductive function. This chapter also surveys the various theories concerned with the integration of mechanisms that regulate population growth and the natural selection of these mechanisms. Chapter 4 discusses the social interactions and population pressures, which act through the neuroendocrine systems to produce the degenerative changes that characterize arteriosclerosis, pancreatitis, cancer, and other diseases so prominent in civilized man. Chapter 5 describes the maternal and mating behavior showing the important role of limbic structures in positive as well as in negative motivated behavior. This book is directed toward neurophysiologists, psychologists, and researchers.

    Progress in Physiological Psychology, Volume 1 is a six-chapter text that covers the advances both in experimental and theoretical studies on physiological psychology. Chapter 1 provides the electrophysiological techniques to bear on classic problems of learning and performance in learning situations, while Chapter 2 describes the association between consciousness and attention. Chapter 3 considers the relations between functional demands and the development and maintenance of neural systems. This chapter also examines the effects upon microstructure and the various measures of neurochemical, neurophysiological, and behavioral growth. Chapter 4 presents certain dimensions of behavioral analysis, particularly in the continuing studies of self-stimulation and reward and punishment systems within the brain. Chapters 5 and 6 survey the mechanisms underlying motivation and emotional behavior. This book is of great value to neurophysiologists and psychologists.
