What is Behavioral Neuroscience?
Behavioral neuroscience, also known as biological psychology,biopsychology, or psychobiology 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.
Contributions of Behavioral Neuroscience
Behavioral neuroscience has also had a strong history of contributing to the understanding of medical disorders, including those that fall under the purview of clinical psychology and biological psychopathology. Although animal models do not exist for all mental illnesses, the field has contributed important therapeutic data on a variety of conditions.
Functional Neuroimaging
Functional neuroimaging is the use of neuroimaging technology to measure an aspect of brain function, often with a view to understanding the relationship between activity in certain brain areas and specific mental functions. It is primarily used as a research tool in cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, and social neuroscience.
Functional Cognitive Neuroscience Imaging
Functional imaging enables, for example, the processing of information by centers in the brain to be visualized directly. Such processing causes the involved area of the brain to increase metabolism and “light up” on the scan.

“Sometimes healing is a matter of medicine; sometimes it is a matter of opportunity.” – Hippocrates
Webster defines opportunity as a chance, especially one that offers some kind of advantage such as a combination of favorable circumstances or situations. In terms of the human drama of healing and disease intervention, one might construe opportunity for a social species as being a collective effort launched from all quarters of our global presence tempered by tolerance and compassion that would extend to each and every one of us.
