Download or read book PHYSIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY written by DR Sherly Williams E, Dr Razeena Karim L and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text book, titled Physiological Psychology, covers the general area of ‘brain and behavior,’which is a modular subject in many university courses. The authors attempts to prepare students to understand physiological concepts in other specialized fields that they will encounter in their higher studies—it is suitable for undergraduate college students as well. The book is organised into four chapters. The first chapter covers the areas Brain and Behaviour, which includes techniques in neurophysiology, the neuron and its functions, Central Nervous System (CNS), Autonomous Nervous System (ANS), Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS), Para Sympathetic Nervous System (PSNS), neurotransmitters and drug action. The second chapter deals with biological basis of sensory processes, which includes visual, auditory, gustatory, olfactory and cutaneous systems. The third chapter contains physiological basis of sleep, eating, drinking and sexual behaviour while the last chapter covers the areas of emotion, learning and memory.

Download or read book Physiological Psychology written by John Blundell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physiological psychology deals with the interaction between ‘under the skin’ physiological variables and the personal and social context in which organisms live. Originally published in 1975, much of this book has relevance for the understanding of human action: knowledge of physiological mechanisms underlying psychological functions can throw light on conditions such as obesity, schizophrenia, and the emotional disorders, and on procedures such as psychosurgery and drug therapy.
Download or read book Physiological Psychology written by Thomas Brown and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physiological Psychology explores the trends in physiological psychology, a rapidly growing and changing field that deals with the relationship between physiology and behavior. It considers the physiological correlates of emotions and how emotions are related to specific kinds of brain activity, the plasticity of the nervous system as it relates to learning and memory, and higher processes, such as thinking, decision making, reasoning, and language. Organized into 16 chapters, the book begins with an overview of the nervous system and the neuron, emphasizing the sensory systems: vision, audition, the chemical senses (olfaction and taste), and the somatosensory and vestibular systems. Then, it discusses the physiological bases of some of the more ""primitive"" behaviors, such as hunger, thirst, reproduction, sleep, and emotion. In particular, it examines the motor system of the brain, the motivation for food and water, the biological bases of sexual behavior, the biological rhythms and sleep, and the role of genetics, nutrition, environment, and hormones in development. The last chapter deals with the cortex and its role in the higher processes. This book is a valuable resource for psychologists, biologists, chemists, physicists, engineers, nutritionists, and many others interested in the relationship between biology and behavior.
Download or read book BIOS Instant Notes in Physiological Psychology written by Hugh Wagner and published by Garland Science. This book was released on 2004-04-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instant Notes in Physiological Psychology provides a succinct overview of the key topics in physiological psychology, providing easy access to the core information in the field. Although physiological psychology is a required component of most degrees, the authors recognise that many students come from non-scientific backgrounds and may find the subject daunting. This book covers all of the essential topics in a format that is ideal for learning and rapid revision for students from all backgrounds. It can serve as a core text, supplemented by readings in the original literature, as a reference guide for students and lecturers alike, or as an ideal revision revision guide prior to exams. Instant Notes in Physiological Psychology is primarily intended for students taking a first course in the subject, but can also be used as an introduction to the field for undergraduates and graduates from other subject areas.

Download or read book Progress in Psychobiology and Physiological Psychology written by James M. Sprague and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress in Psychobiology and Physiological Psychology, Volume 9 reviews developments in the fields of psychobiology and physiological psychology, with emphasis on selected areas of research relating brain mechanisms and behavior. Topics covered range from sensory-perceptual systems in mammals to behavioral modulation of visual responses in monkeys. Brain pathways for vocal learning in birds are also examined, along with neural mechanisms in taste aversion learning. Comprised of seven chapters, this volume begins with an insightful account of the evolution of concepts regarding cortical organization relevant to perception in mammals. Studies of single unit activity in awake, behaving monkeys are then presented, followed by a discussion on the neural control of song in birds. In particular, the brain pathways involved in vocal learning in birds are defined anatomically and physiologically, including the presence of hemispheric dominance and the sensitivity to steroid hormones. Subsequent chapters focus on the response characteristics of the cells in the forebrain that give stimuli their significance for associative learning; the neuropsychological mechanisms of taste aversion learning; and the psychobiology of thirst. The final chapter is devoted to the pineal gland and its anatomical connection to the eyes, together with pineal hormones, polypeptides, and proteins. This book should appeal to biologists, psychologists, and physiologists.
