Description

Conocer el funcionamiento del sistema nervioso permite comprender el comportamiento humano y mejorarlo. En esta edición actualizada de Bases biológicas de la conducta, Mireya Fraustro nos lleva de la mano en un recorrido por los constituyentes del sistema nervioso y sus procesos fisiológicos para entender las funciones normales y anormales que determinan nuestra conducta. Con sencillez y contundencia, la especialista en neuropsicología explica cómo es que este centro de mando controla las funciones que nos mantienen vivos, procesa la información que llega del medio externo generando pensamientos, aprendizajes, recuerdos y emociones, e interviene en las reacciones que tenemos frente a nuestro entorno.

Knowing how the nervous system works allows us to better understand human behavior, and therefore improve it. In this updated edition of Biological Bases of Behavior, Mireya Fraustro takes us on a tour of the nervous system to understand the normal and abnormal functions that determine our behavior. With simple language, the author explains how this command center controls the functions that keep us alive, processes input from our external environment, and how it generates thoughts, memories, and emotions.
