Biological Bases of Behavior
IN THIS CHAPTER
Summary:As you read this page, lots of things are going through your mind.
Your mind is what your brain does, according to many psychologists. The
relationships of behavior, the mind, and the nervous system, especially the
brain, have become increasingly clear as improvements in technology have
enabled scientists to make better observations. In all areas of anatomy and
physiology, structure is related to function. Specialized structures throughout
your body enable regulatory function at all levels of organization from your
neurotransmitter molecules to your nervous and endocrine systems.
Neuropsychologists explore the relationships between brain/nervous
systems and behavior. Neuropsychologists are also called biopsychologists,
behavioral geneticists, physiological psychologists, and behavioral
neuroscientists.
This chapter focuses on what we know about our nervous system and all of
its parts at different levels of organization, and the tools that have enabled us
to learn about them.Key Ideas
