Foundations of Mind, Brain, and Behavior Relationships: Understanding Physiological Psychology

Foundations of Mind, Brain, and Behavior Relationships: Understanding Physiological Psychology is an engaging introduction into neuroscience, and the portions of the nervous system, perception, and the clinical considerations in physiological psychology. Clinical Applications appear throughout the chapters and provide real-world examples of brain-behavior relationships, and how the nervous system interacts with other body systems to create a specific behavior. Creating an interactive experience for learners, this volume connects the study of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology with clinically relevant topics, ranging from stress and eating disorders to substance abuse, major affective disorders, and schizophrenia. Integrating the foundations of neuroscience with disorders encountered in clinical practice serves as a foundation to better understand the clinical bases of these conditions. Authored by clinical neuropsychologists, these is the volume for those interested in learning about the underpinnings of mind, brain, and human behaviors in normal and divergent functioning. Connects neuroanatomy and neurophysiology with disorders and clinically relevant practice Provides Clinical Application sections throughout chapters for real-world examples of brain-behavior relationships Discusses how nervous system interactions to produce behaviors in consciousness, movement, and the five senses Chapters on cognitive disorders and clinical considerations of physiological psychology cover a variety of neurological disorders INDICE: Part I: Neuroscience 1.
