In this presentation , I will talk about the biological perspective in
the term of psychology; at the end of the presentation, you will
know and realize the following:
1-the brain and the behavior
2-the role of gene in behavior
3-The Biological Basis of Psychology
4-Biological Explanations for Psychological Disorders

 The Brain and Behavior
The Nervous System
Explore the anatomy and function
of the nervous system and learn
how it controls our thoughts,
emotions, and behaviors.
Neurons and Synapses
Dive into the structure and
function of neurons and synapses,
and understand how the brain
sends and receives messages.
Brain Imaging
Discover how we can use tools
like fMRI and PET scans to map
brain activity and identify the
neural basis of behavior.
The Role of Genes in Behavior
Discover the power of twin studies in
unraveling the complex interplay between
nature and nurture, and gaining insights
into the heritability of various behavioral
traits.
1
Explore the fascinating relationship
between genetics and behavior, and
2 understand how our genes contribute to
our personality traits and predispositions.
3
Learn about cutting-edge gene editing
technologies like CRISPR and their
potential implications for understanding
and modifying behavior at the genetic
level.
Genetics and Behavior
Learn how our genes
influence our behavior and
how researchers study genetic
influences on personality and
mental health.
Hormones and
Emotions
Explore the role of hormones
in shaping our emotional
states and behaviors, and how
imbalances can lead to mental
health disorders.
The Evolutionary
Perspective
Understand how evolutionary
principles influence our
behavior and how we can use
this perspective to explain
social behavior and cultural
differences.
 Biological Explanations for
Psychological Disorders

from a neurotypical person.
Important Scientists in Biological
Psychology
1 Ivan Pavlov

Discover Pavlov's famous experiments on classical conditioning and their impact on our
understanding of learning and behavior.

2 Paul Ekman

Explore Ekman's research on facial expressions and emotion, and how his work has influenced
fields such as law enforcement and psychology therapy.

3 Oliver Sacks

Learn about Sacks' groundbreaking work in neuroscience and his ability to make complex
scientific concepts accessible to a general audience through books like "The Man Who Mistook
His Wife for a Hat."
The Future of Biological Psychology
Neurotechnology

Explore the potential for technological innovations like brain-machine interfaces and neural prosthetics to
transform our understanding of the brain and human behavior.

Epigenetics

Understand how epigenetic changes, or changes in gene expression caused by environmental factors, can
influence behavior and contribute to mental health disorders.

Global Approaches

Learn how interdisciplinary and international collaborations can help us better understand the biological
basis of human behavior and mental health, and how these insights can inform policy and interventions.
