New Frontiers in Social Neuroscience de Jean Decety

New Frontiers in Social Neuroscience: Research and Perspectives in Neurosciences, cartea 21

Editat de Jean Decety, Yves Christen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2016
Traditionally, neuroscience has considered the nervous system as an isolated entity and largely ignored influences of the social environments in which humans and many animal species live. However, there is mounting evidence that the social environment affects behavior across species, from microbes to humans.
This volume brings together scholars who work with animal and human models of social behavior to discuss the challenges and opportunities in this interdisciplinary academic field.

Recenzii

From the book reviews:
“Jean Decety and Yves Christen bring together 17 of the leading researchers in the emerging discipline of social neuroscience to discuss the key concepts and findings that define this new field of investigation. … It provides a solid overview of research in the new subspecialty of social neuroscience and would serve as excellent supplementary reading for various courses across a number of disciplines. … most appropriate for graduate students and professionals interested in acquiring a broad understanding of social neuroscience.” (Samuel T. Gontkovsky and Charles M. Burack, PsyCRITIQUES, Vol. 60 (12), 2015)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Traditionally, neuroscience has considered the nervous system as an isolated entity and largely ignored influences of the social environments in which humans and many animal species live. In fact, we now recognize the considerable impact of social structures on the operations of the brain and body. These social factors operate on the individual through a continuous interplay of neural, neuroendocrine, metabolic and immune factors on brain and body, in which the brain is the central regulatory organ, and also a malleable target of these factors. Social neuroscience investigates the biological mechanisms that underlie social processes and behavior, widely considered one of the major problem areas for the neurosciences in the 21st century, and applies concepts and methods of biology to develop theories of social processes and behavior in the social and behavioral sciences. Social neuroscience capitalizes on biological concepts and methods to inform and refine theories of social behavior, and it uses social and behavioral constructs and data to advance theories of neural organization and function. This volume brings together scholars who work with animal and human models of social behavior to discuss the challenges and opportunities in this interdisciplinary academic field.

Caracteristici

Provides genetic and molecular insights that clearly translate to investigations of social behavior in other species Helps bridging the gap between animal and human social neuroscience studies Contributes much to our understanding of the mechanisms by which the social world impacts health, life span, and cognition Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
