Psicobiología[editar]
Behavioral neuroscience, also known as biological psychology,[1] biopsychology, or psychobiology[2] is the application of the principles of biology (in particular neurobiology), to the study of physiological, genetic, and developmental mechanisms of behavior in human and non-human animals. It typically investigates at the level of nerves, neurotransmitters, brain circuitry and the basic biological processes that underlie normal and abnormal behavior. Most typically, experiments in behavioral neuroscience involve non-human animal models (such as rats and mice, and non-human primates) which have implications for better understanding of human pathology and therefore contribute to evidence-based practice.
Es la aplicación de los principios de la biología, y en particular de la neurobiología, al estudio de los mecanismos fisiológicos, genéticos, y de desarrollo del comportamiento en los animales, incluídos los humanos. De forma típica investiga a nivel de las fibras nerviosas, los neurtransmisores, las conexiones cerebrales y los procesos biológicos básicos que forman el fundamento del comportamiento normal y anormal. De forma usual utiliza modelos animales no humanos, tales como ratas y primates no humanos, que presentan similitudes con la organización cerebral humana. [3]
