Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience and Neurobiology presents the mind as a spatio-temporal platform shaped by dynamic neural activity. It examines how systems like attention, cognition, and emotion emerge from complex neurobiological processes that operate moment to moment.
The author proposes a unified theory based on two key ideas: there is no dualism between biological and psychological (all mental functions are biological), and there is no division into a conscious and an unconscious mind (everything is consciously created within the unconscious neurobiological machinery). Building on this theory, the author examines neuroanatomical aspects of the brain, drivers – including motivations and reward systems – cognition and feelings and emotions, while also considering the effects of both environmental and cultural factors.
Through discussions of brain anatomy, motivation, cognition, emotion, and cultural influences, this book offers fresh insights into the origins of behavior and the concept of self. It is essential reading for students and scholars of cognitive neuroscience and neurobiology.
