Physiological Psychology

Physiological psychology is the scientific study of how the brain and nervous system influence behavior, thoughts, and emotions. It explores the biological processes underlying mental functions, examining how different parts of the brain and neural activities create experiences, regulate actions, and respond to the environment. This field combines knowledge from biology, neuroscience, and psychology to understand the physical basis of mental processes, helping us learn how brain structure and chemistry affect everything from learning and memory to mood and perception.
