lt;p>"This is an excellent, thorough collection of essays on ethical issues in behavioral neuroscience, with a significant portion of the book dedicated to the often neglected ethical issues related to behavioral neuroscience research in animals. ... This is intended primarily for behavioral neuroscientists and neuroethicists, animal science researchers and ethicists, as well as scholars interested in this topic."
