In psychology, biological psychology, also known as biopsychology, psychobiology, or behavioral neuroscience is the application of the principles of biology to the study of mental processes and behavior. A psychobiologist, for instance, may compare the unfamiliar imprinting behavior in goslings to the early attachment behavior in human infants and construct theory around these two phenomena. Biological psychologists may often be interested in measuring some biological variable, e.g. an anatomical, physiological, or genetic variable, in an attempt to relate it quantitatively or qualitatively to a psychological or behavioral variable, and thus contribute to evidence based practice.

  • In psychology, biological psychology, also known as biopsychology, psychobiology, or behavioral neuroscience is the application of the principles of biology to the study of mental processes and behavior. A psychobiologist, for instance, may compare the unfamiliar imprinting behavior in goslings to the early attachment behavior in human infants and construct theory around these two phenomena. Biological psychologists may often be interested in measuring some biological variable, e.g. an anatomical, physiological, or genetic variable, in an attempt to relate it quantitatively or qualitatively to a psychological or behavioral variable, and thus contribute to evidence based practice.

  • La psicobiologia(il termine deriva dal greco psyché = "anima", bìos = "vita" e logos = "scienza") studia la biologia del comportamento ed è un approccio biologico alla psicologia. La psicobiologia, che è chiamata anche psicologia biologica, è una branca delle neuroscienze che studia il comportamento in relazione alle sue basi biologiche, strutture e processi corporei; per comportamento si intende l'insieme di tutte le attività manifeste dell'organismo così come tutti i processi mentali Gli esperimenti degli psicobiologi vengono effettuati sia su animali che su esseri umani sani o con lesioni a carico del sistema nervoso. Soprattutto in questo campo di indagine si sovrappone ad un'altra branca delle neuroscienze e cioè la neuropsicologia che a differenza della psicobiologia studia solo il sistema nervoso centrale ed è molto influenzata dalla psicologia cognitiva. Inoltre la neuropsicologia opera ad un livello maggiormente macroscopico, focalizzandosi su estese aree del cervello. (it)
  • Psicobiologia é uma ciência interdisciplinar, que envolve a psicologia e a biologia. Seu desenvolvimento é recente e tem cerca de 30 anos. Seu tema de investigação são as relações entre o sistema nervoso e o comportamento, buscando compreender mecanismos psicológicos como atenção, cognição, aprendizagem, memória, emoção, sensação e percepção.

  • 在心理學中, 生物心理學 或 心理生物學是運用生物學原則以研究心理歷程及行為。舉例來說，心理生物學家會比較雛鵝的印痕行為與人類嬰兒的依附行為，並以這兩個現象來建立他們的理論。生物心理學家通常對衡量生物學上的變數有興趣，例如：解剖學、生理學或基因變數，並試圖量化或質化心理學或行為學上的變數，因此對實證應用具有重大貢獻。 (zh)
  • Die Biopsychologie beschäftigt sich mit der experimentellen Erforschung der biologischen Grundlagen des Psychischen. Biopsychologische Forschung untersucht den Einfluss von biologischen Strukturen und Vorgängen – beispielsweise des Gehirns, des kardiovaskulären, endokrinen und immunologischen Systems – auf Verhalten, Emotionen, Träume und Denken/Kognition. Die Biopsychologie ist ferner daran interessiert, wie – umgekehrt – psychologische Zustände und Vorgänge biologische Strukturen und Funktionen beeinflussen. Angrenzende und teilweise mit identischen Fragestellungen befasste Forschungsgebiete sind die Neuropsychologie sowie die klinische Neuropsychologie, die Kognitionspsychologie und die Psychophysiologie.
