The field of psychology aimed at understanding how the brain affects behavior is called biological psychology but you can also listen to this theme called psychobiology or behavioral neuroscience I will.

Neurons are an essential part of life. These highly specialized cells are responsible for sending and receiving information from one part of the body to another part. In this article you can learn more about how neurons work.

In order to better understand how neurons transmit information throughout the body, we need to know the different parts of the neuron. Understand the structure of nerve cells and how to transmit nerve signals in the outline of neuronal anatomical structure

You already know how cell structures and nerve impulses are transmitted along the cell, but how does this information pass from one cell to another? Let's learn more about these chemical messengers that transmit signals from one cell to the next in an overview of neurotransmitters.

Neurons occupy a small part of the complex communication system of the human body. Central nervous system and peripheral nervous system: The nervous system consists of two main parts. In addition, the endocrine system plays an important role in communication. Details on these two important systems and their impact on the brain, body and behavior of the nervous system and the endocrine system

Advances in technology in recent years have enabled scientists to study the human brain in ways that have been impossible. Details on the different parts of the brain and the roles that each region plays in human brain journeys

Congratulations, you have reached the end of the third lesson! This course covers a part of the iceberg of the brain and behavior, understanding this information will build a solid foundation for future learning. Please keep an eye on Lesson 4 if you think you've learned enough information on this course. Still if you are trying to understand and memorize teaching materials in today's classes, we recommend that you come back a few days later and check out the information before proceeding to the next lesson.

Please repeat the course until you learn. As their situation supports their current decision, most people cease to learn their course. What they are doing is reasonable. They will not carefully see their behavior patterns and the behavior of the surrounding people. They did not immediately develop identification and execution. Their personality is in trouble, they believe without thinking that they can not change - they were born with an identity that they must have after they died

This course is part of a series of courses focusing on social science, behavioral science, and economic science. These courses were developed by the American Science Promotion Association and funded by the National Science Foundation Grant Number SES - 0 549096. For other courses and activities related to social science, behavioral science, economic science, please see the SBE project page. Everyone is born in a social and cultural environment such as family, community, social class, language, religion. There are various ways to deal with these effects, not necessarily predictable. However, when growing in the same cultural environment, it is common for individuals to function without being fully conscious of them, as similar reaction patterns that may be deeply rooted in human thought occur. . Because the value of a single culture that dominates a large area may be very influential, these values ​​are considered correct and are therefore driven by the community and the government.
