A major part of neuroscience research at \nthe whole organism level has been focused on cognitive neuroscience, \nwith an emphasis on the neurobiology of learning and memory, but there \nhas been a recent upsurge in research which is attempting to define \nthe neural basis of basic motivational and emotional systems which \nregulate such behaviors as food intake, aggression, reproduction, \nreward-seeking behaviors, and anxiety-related behaviors. \nIn this book the emphasis is on the research findings obtained from \nrodents, sheep and primates. The authors' goal, of course, was to \nprovide a foundation that may help us understand the neurobiology of \nhuman parental behavior. Indeed, the last chapter attempts to \nintegrate the non-human research data with some human data in order to \nmake some inroads toward an understanding of postpartum depression, \nchild abuse, and child neglect. Clearly, motivational and emotional \nneuroscience has close ties to psychiatry, and this connection will be \nvery evident in the final chapter. By understanding the neurobiology \nof parental behavior we are also delving into neurobiological factors \nwhich may have an impact on core human characteristics involved in \nsociality, social attachment, nurturing behavior, and love. In this \nvery violent world, it is hard to conceive of a group of \ncharacteristics that are more worthy of study.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781441918277\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781441918277","offer_id":39415073210461,"sku":"9781441918277","price":320.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/373e9c74-cf77-4b03-94b8-be433ce098bd.jpg?v=1782273887","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-neurobiology-of-parental-behavior-von-thomas-r-insel-michael-numan","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
