How the Vertebrate Brain Regulates Behavior: Direct from the Lab

by Donald W. Pfaff

Throughout his remarkable career, Donald Pfaff has demonstrated that by choosing problems and methods with care, biologists can study the molecular mechanisms of brains more complex than those of fruit flies, snails, roundworms, and other invertebrates.
