Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on the methodologies required to evaluate connections between diet and behavior. It is based on the premise that knowledge of the links between diet and behavior can be advanced only if appropriate methods are used, studies are vigorously designed, and data are carefully interpreted. This conceptual framework shows basic scientists just how essential multidisciplinary interaction is for the successful development of research methods and standards.
