The mind-brain relation and neuroscientific foundations: II. Neurobehavioral integrations.
Neuroscientific research focuses on the mind-brain relation, particularly with respect to patterns of brain arousal and activity in the production of various forms of behavior, both external and mental behavior. In this article the author reviews neuroscientific findings to demonstrate that there are no activities of the human person, whether in the form of external behavior or purely mental activity, that are not produced by activation of the CNS. Areas considered include information processing, development, brain plasticity, language, memory, and affects.
