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

By Jahangir Moini (Author), this book is an engaging introduction into neuroscience, focusing on the portions of the nervous system, perception, and the clinical considerations in physiological psychology. It provides real-world examples of brain-behavior relationships, and how the nervous system interacts with other body systems to create a specific behavior.

“Clinical Applications” appear throughout the chapters, 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. This integration serves as a foundation to better understand the clinical bases of these conditions.

Co-authored by clinical neuropsychologists, this book is for those interested in learning about the underpinnings of the mind, brain, and human behaviors in normal and divergent functioning. It provides a comprehensive understanding of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, and their connection with disorders encountered in clinical practice.

The book covers various aspects such as:

• Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology interconnected with disorders and clinically relevant practice
• “Clinical Application” sections throughout the chapters providing real-world examples of brain-behavior relationships
• Discussion of how the nervous system interacts with behaviors, consciousness, movements, and the five senses
• Chapters on cognitive disorders and clinical considerations of physiological psychology covering a variety of neurological disorders
