Description
This textbook presents an interdisciplinary overview of the natural-scientific foundations of psychology and neuroscience, examining mental activity as the result of interactions between neural, cognitive, genetic, and social processes. It integrates knowledge from psychology, neurobiology, physiology, psychiatry, and cognitive science to explain the biological mechanisms underlying human mental functions.
The book discusses modern conceptions of the subject of psychology and its relationship with psychiatry, including contemporary diagnostic systems (DSM-5 and ICD-11), neurobiological models of mental disorders, psychopharmacology, neuromodulation therapies, personalized psychiatry, and cognitive therapies. Special attention is given to the role of psychology in diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and interdisciplinary research.
The structural and functional foundations of mental activity are examined through the organization of the nervous system, the physiology of neurons and synapses, neurotransmitter systems, and mechanisms of brain regulation. Modern methods of brain research—such as EEG, MRI, PET, fMRI, and computational modeling—are also described.
