Affective Neurology

Affective neurology, as a subfield of behavioral neurology, focuses on how brain processes influence emotions and social behaviors. It examines the connections between brain function and feelings, exploring how neurological conditions can affect emotional well-being and interpersonal relationships. By studying the brain areas involved in emotions, researchers aim to understand conditions like depression, anxiety, and autism better. The goal is to improve treatments and support for individuals with affective disorders, helping them lead more fulfilling lives by addressing the neurological roots of their emotional experiences.
