Synopsis

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, this book explores the idea that prosocial and positive emotional behaviours enhance the neurocognitive plasticity of the human brain. This reference text is ideal for laboratories of neuroscience, clinical linguistics, neurolinguistics and cognitive sciences, and comprises a useful interdisciplinary course text for undergraduate and graduate students.
