Fundamentals of Health Neuroscience
About this book
Health Neuroscience is a new interdisciplinary field encompassing research from cognitive, affective, and social neuroscience, health psychology, physical and mental health, and science of behavior change. This new field addresses the longstanding gap among neuroscience, health and behavior change within the context of health promotion. Fundamentals of Health Neuroscience explores key topics and research, including basic principles, psychological and neural processes, brain and body interaction, and gene x brain x environment interactions. This book will also cover prevention and intervention strategies for health decisions and promotion across the lifespan. Chapters will integrate the latest research findings and explore several key topics, such as: How does the brain serve both as a predictor and an outcome of health? How can people improve self-control and achieve physical and mental health? What does brain plasticity and resilience tell us about learning and development throughout our life? How is the sense of meaning in life affected by dopamine and reward systems in the brain?
- Introduces a new interdisciplinary field of Health Neuroscience including its basic and translational research and applications
- Reviews current research on biomarkers of brain health and aging
- Discusses brain-body connection and health behavior change
