Foundations of the Mind, Brain, and Behavioral Relationships

Foundations of the Mind, Brain, and Behavioral 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. Coauthored 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. - Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology are interconnected with disorders and clinically relevant practice - 'Clinical Application' sections throughout the chapters provide 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 cover a variety of neurological disorders
