Neurocognitive and
behavioural science is a unique discipline with the potential to develop new
research in the fields of neuroscience and social, biological and engineering
sciences. Combining the
authors’ own research with a comprehensive survey of the field, the book
marshalls impressive evidence to explore the idea that prosocial and positive
emotional behaviours enhance the neurocognitive plasticity of the human brain.
The authors discuss the relationship between prosocial and positive action and
the recovery of brain tissue loss, blood-brain-barrier (BBB) breakdown, brain
hypo-perfusion and inflammatory responses predict the onset of
neurodegeneration (ND), in particular in the early stages of Alzheimer‘s
disease (AD). This text is an ideal reference for the laboratories of
neuroscience, clinical linguistics, neurolinguistics and cognitive sciences. It
also comprises a useful interdisciplinary course text for undergraduate and
graduate students.
Key Features:
- The book
contains twelve chapters dedicated to the outcome of the research findings of
the authors. It also contains a comprehensive review of the literature relevant
to the context of how prosocial activities influences neural signature, and
thereby modulates societal harmony and cooperation.
- For the
first time, the quantitative and computational approaches have been discussed
and presented to classify and categorize the neural signature of prosocial
behaviour and languages in the human brain.
- The
scope of the book covers the area of behavioural science, neuroscience,
psycholinguistic, and social and affective sciences.
- This
book will serve as a reference book which will be useful to the laboratories of
neuroscience and cognitive science. Both experts and non-experts will benefit
from the research.
