Abstract
Brain Function and Its Influence on Behavior
Author(s): Hannah MullerThe intricate relationship between the brain and behavior has fascinated scientists, philosophers and clinicians for centuries. At its core, this relationship seeks to explain how neural activity within the brain gives rise to complex behaviors, thoughts and emotions and conversely, how behaviors and experiences can shape the brain. Modern neuroscience has revealed that the brain is far from a static organ. It is a highly adaptive system, capable of learning, reorganizing, and responding to environmental demands.
