Summary
Aside from the usual updating of material, the major change in this edition is an extensive rewriting of the
chapter on memory and learning to emphasize that genes that are involved in behavior are not immutable but their
expression can be modified by transcription factors. Thus, with respect to learning, that old question about which
is more important, nature or nuture, genetics or environment, should be answered with the question, which leg is
more important for walking, the left leg or the right?
