  • Enhancement of Brain Functions Prompted by Physical Activity Vol 1

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 283
    • English
    The goal for this special edition of Progress in Brain Research extends beyond merely probing the yet-to-be-uncovered links between physical exercise and cognitive improvement. We aim to advance our knowledge, pushing the envelope of what is currently understood. We are particularly focused on how purposefully structured physical activities, carefully chosen participant groups, and specific cognitive areas can optimize the cognitive and mental health benefits derived from physical exercise. The inaugural volume of this series introduces 3 review articles and 7 original pieces of research, encompassing both behavioral experiments and neuroimaging studies. Our focus is on experimental research that sheds light on the immediate and long-term impact of physical exercise on cognition as well as expert opinions and systematic reviews that compile current findings and suggest avenues for upcoming research.

    • English
    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.
