Produktbeschreibung
This important new book presents an introduction to Environmental Neuroscience, an emerging field devoted to the study of brain-mediated bidirectional relationships between organisms and their physical environments. Environmental Neuroscience offers a novel perspective in the human neurosciences, which have typically focused on the individual isolated from its natural habitat. The book presents the theoretical background of the field, discusses how the environment impacts humans and how humans impact the environment, explores the neuroscience of the built environment, and addresses special populations and presents different methodological approaches. Environmental Neuroscience bringing together the top authorities in the field, will appeal to neuroscientists and to a range of scholars from public health, urban studies, human geography, and architecture who are searching for guidance on what characterizes a health-promoting environment.
Autorenporträt
Simone Kühn, PhD, is the Director of the Center for Environmental Neuroscience at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin and Professor of Neural Plasticity in Psychiatric Disease at the University Clinic Hamburg-Eppendorf in Germany. Her primary research focuses on how the human brain is shaped by the physical environment in healthy individuals and in psychiatric patients. Moreover, she has studied brain plasticity in response to lifestyle factors and habits with various brain imaging methods. She studied psychology at Columbia University in New York and Potsdam University, and received her doctorate in psychology from University of Leipzig. As she worked at University of Gent in Belgium, Charité University Medicine in Berlin and at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London.
