Foundations of the Mind, Brain, and Behavioral Relationships: Understanding Physiological Psychology

By Jahangir Moini (Author), this book serves as an engaging introduction into neuroscience, focusing on the portions of the nervous system, perception, and the clinical considerations in physiological psychology. Throughout the chapters, “Clinical Applications” provide real-world examples of brain-behavior relationships, illustrating how the nervous system interacts with other body systems to create a specific behavior.

This volume aims to create an interactive experience for learners, connecting the study of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology with clinically relevant topics. These topics range from stress and eating disorders to substance abuse, major affective disorders, and schizophrenia. By integrating the foundations of neuroscience with disorders encountered in clinical practice, readers can gain a better understanding of the clinical bases of these conditions.

Co-authored by clinical neuropsychologists, this book is ideal for those interested in learning about the underpinnings of the mind, brain, and human behaviors in normal and divergent functioning. It delves into the interconnectedness of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology with disorders and clinically relevant practice, providing a comprehensive understanding of the nervous system’s role in behaviors, consciousness, movements, and the five senses.

The book also covers cognitive disorders and clinical considerations of physiological psychology, encompassing a variety of neurological disorders. Through its in-depth exploration of the mind, brain, and behavior, “Foundations of the Mind, Brain, and Behavioral Relationships” offers a valuable resource for students and professionals in the field of neuroscience and related disciplines.
