Here, we suggest importing concepts, paradigms and approaches from the fields of ethology and behavioural ecology, which concentrate on the contextual and functional correlates of decisions made about foraging and escape and address these lacunae....
Early deprivation leads to altered behavioural, autonomic and endocrine responses to environmental challenge in adult Fischer rats Depression is diagnosed on the basis of abnormal positive affects (anhedonia) and negative affects (low mood, helplessness, coping deficit, fatigue), and a...

Despite great strides in both machine learning and neuroscience, we do not know how the human brain solves problems in the general sense. We approach this question by drawing on the framework of engineering control theory. We demonstrate a computational neural model with only localist learning laws...
Importantly, this rhythmicity is required by the processes underlying the construction of intelligible speech. A lot of current work focuses on audio-motor interactions in speech, highlighting behavioural and neural evidence that demonstrates how properties of perceptual and motor systems, and their ...
Researchers will find this a useful guide to the background of concepts employed in the field that have been taken from disciplines as varied as neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, engineering, and physics. A number of these imp... ...
Big historians are attempting to construct a general holistic narrative of human origins enabling an approach to studying the emergence of complexity, the
Neuroeconomics: Using Neuroscience to Make Economic Predictions Neuroeconomics seeks to ground economic theory in detailed neural mechanisms which are expressed mathematically and make behavioural predictions. One finding is that simple kinds of economising for life-and-death decisions (food, sex and... ...
Similarly, behavioural strategies able to decrease central sensitization, such as pain neuroscience education, sleep management, and regular moderate physical activity [7,8], should be foster to successfully reduce these patients’ pain and improve their quality of life. References 1. Smolen JS, ...

Humans present a behavioural paradox: they are peaceful in many circumstances, but they are also violent and kill conspecifics at high rates. We describe a social evolutionary theory to resolve this paradox. The theory interprets human aggression as a combination of low propensities for reactive agg...
