With a focus on both the physiological and psychological aspects, the text offers a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between biology and behavior.

This Element introduces a biological approach to cognition, which highlights the significance of allostatic regulation and the navigation of challenges and opportunities.

Targeted at women aged 45 to 75 considering hormone therapy, this book delves into the complexities surrounding the decision-making process. Rather than providing simple answers, it offers a thorough exploration of the biology, history, sociology, business, and ethics of hormone replacement therapy. Authored by a prominent scientist and medical researcher, it aims to educate readers on the nuances of the topic, equipping them with the knowledge needed to make informed choices about their health.

The book delves into the behavioral neuroscience behind social attachment, examining how these connections are crucial for human well-being. It highlights the biological and psychological mechanisms that underpin relationships, emphasizing their importance in fostering emotional health and resilience. Through a blend of research and insights, it reveals the profound impact of social bonds on individual and collective well-being.

Exploring the intricate relationship between music and the human brain, this book delves into the social, emotional, cognitive, and somatic dimensions of music through a neuroscientific lens. The author poses profound questions about the evolutionary purpose of music, its societal benefits, and its emotional resonance, inviting readers to rethink long-standing debates. By integrating insights from both neuroscience and musicology, it offers a fresh perspective on why music is a fundamental aspect of human experience.

Exploring the intersection of neuroscience and behavioral expression, this book emphasizes a respectful yet inquisitive approach to understanding the brain. It aims to demystify complex concepts, presenting a journey of discovery that seeks coherence in the vast field of neuroscience. The author invites readers to engage with the scientific study of the brain, highlighting its evolution over the past thousand years and encouraging a deeper appreciation for its intricacies.

In The Brain in Context, bioethicist Jonathan D. Moreno and neuroscientist Jay Schulkin provide an accessible account of the evolution of neuroscience and the neuroscience of evolution. They describe today's transformative devices, theories, and methods, and they show how theorizing about the brain and experimenting with it often go hand in hand.

Richter's extensive research and personal documents reveal a compelling portrait of a dedicated laboratory artisan. Jay Schulkin draws from six decades of archived data and interviews to explore the intricacies of Richter's work, highlighting his unique contributions and the impact of his innovative techniques in the field. This in-depth examination offers a nuanced understanding of both the individual and the broader scientific context in which he operated.

The exploration of legal reasoning through the lens of neuroscience and biology reveals the intricate connections between philosophy, law, and human problem-solving. Drawing on the insights of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. and John Dewey's pragmatism, the author argues for a naturalistic and anthropological understanding of the human condition. The book highlights the complexity and fallibility inherent in both legal and scientific reasoning, advocating for a broader context that underscores their interrelatedness and continuity.

Focusing on sodium hunger, Professor Schulkin examines its role as a model for understanding motivated behavior in animals. He delves into the intricate physiological and endocrinological mechanisms that regulate sodium balance and influence the brain's drive to seek and consume salt. The book also outlines a neural network responsible for coordinating salt-seeking behaviors, offering insights into both the biological underpinnings and the broader implications of this essential need.
