assembles the human body, the underlying growth and natural
mechanism and environmental factors that adds up on the human
development.
 BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE

paved the way for a complete understanding the self, a consciousness,
a fundamental core of the self, is influenced by inner dynamics and
environments.
 BRAIN AND SELF – A
NEUROPHILOSOPHICAL ACCOUNT

 The mental self is supposed to be based on our thoughts and a

specific mental subtance. This is a different in the concept of the
empirical self. Here the self is assumed to be no longer based on a
mental subtance but rather on representing and reflecting about the
biological processes in the own body and brain.

functions, one must understand the brain with the help of evidence
from neuroscience to polish concepts such as free will.

sense and consciousness must be discussed by the use of framework

 PSYCHO NEURO
I M M U NO L O GY

 Defined as the study of interactions between behavior, neural and

endocrine function, and immune processes.

 is a discipline that has evolved in the last 40 years to study the relationship between
immunity, the endocrine system, and the central and peripheral nervous systems. In this
manner, neurotransmitters, hormones, and neuropeptides have been found to regulate
immune cells, and these in turn are capable of communicating with nervous tissue
through the secretion of a wide variety of cytokines.

 In the contrary, some foreign matters that infiltrates ones’s bodily system can be
beneficial and thus it will stay and last to become a relatively fixtures to body.
