Biological Psychology and Neuroscience (ICBPN-27)

This track explores the neurobiological mechanisms underlying monogamous relationships, focusing on the hormonal and neural pathways involved. Research on animal models and human studies will be discussed to elucidate the evolutionary significance of monogamy.

This session delves into the interactions between psychological processes and the immune system, highlighting how stress and mental health can influence physical health outcomes. Presentations will cover both theoretical frameworks and empirical findings in this interdisciplinary field.

Focusing on the evolutionary underpinnings of social behavior, this track examines how natural selection shapes neurobiological processes. Contributions will include discussions on mate choice, reproductive strategies, and the adaptive significance of social interactions.

This session presents innovative mathematical models that simulate social behavior and interactions among individuals. Theoretical and empirical studies will be showcased to demonstrate how these models can enhance our understanding of complex social dynamics.

Exploring the impact of environmental factors on psychological processes, this track will address how surroundings influence behavior, cognition, and emotional responses. Research on urban environments, nature exposure, and spatial design will be highlighted.

This session investigates the physiological and psychological effects of stress on social interactions and relationships. Presentations will cover the neurobiological pathways involved and the implications for mental health and social cohesion.

Focusing on the role of epigenetic mechanisms in shaping social behavior, this track will explore how environmental factors can influence gene expression. Studies will highlight the interplay between genetics and social experiences in various contexts.

This session examines the neural substrates of learning and memory, emphasizing the cognitive processes involved in acquiring and retaining information. Research findings from both animal models and human studies will be presented to illustrate these mechanisms.

This track addresses the neurobiological underpinnings of cognitive diseases and disorders, including Alzheimer's and schizophrenia. Presentations will focus on recent advances in understanding the pathophysiology and potential therapeutic interventions.

This session explores the comparative method in psychology, examining behavioral similarities and differences across species. Research will highlight how insights from animal behavior can inform our understanding of human psychology.

Focusing on the neural correlates of consciousness and perception, this track will discuss the latest research in cognitive neuroscience. Presentations will cover topics such as sensory processing, awareness, and the philosophical implications of consciousness studies.
