Description:

The Neuroscience of Feelings: Unveiling the Mind-Brain Alchemy explores how emotions shape brain function, behavior, and health across the lifespan. Bringing together neuroscience, psychology, and medicine, this volume examines how positive and negative feelings influence neural pathways, brain cell regeneration, decision-making, and vulnerability to mental and neurological disorders. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Chapters integrate cutting-edge research on emotional intelligence, neuroplasticity, trauma, and mental health, offering a rigorous yet accessible overview of how feelings emerge from complex brain circuits—and how they can be harnessed to promote resilience and recovery.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive view of emotions and the brain: shows how different emotional states modulate brain physiology, neural connectivity, and cognitive performance. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
• Interdisciplinary approach: bridges neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, and cognitive science to explain the mind–brain relationship behind feelings and behavior.
• Evidence-based insights: discusses decision-making, emotional trauma, neuroplasticity, and their links to mental and physical health, with contributions from international experts in brain research. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• Part of the Progress in Brain Research series: offers a focused, research-driven synthesis ideal for professionals and advanced students.

Readership:

• Neuroscientists and brain researchers investigating emotion and cognition
• Psychologists and psychiatrists working in affective and clinical neuroscience
• Neurologists, clinicians, and medical researchers interested in brain–mind interactions
• Graduate students in neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive science
• Interdisciplinary scholars exploring links between emotions, health, and behavior
