Includes bibliographical references and index "Recently, an interest in our understanding of well-being within the context of competition and cooperation has re-emerged within the biological and neural sciences. Given that we are social animals, our well-being is tightly linked to interactions with others. Pro-social behavior establishes and sustains human contact, contributing to well-being. Adaptation and Well-Being is about the evolution and biological importance of social contact. Social sensibility is an essential feature of our central nervous systems, and what have evolved are elaborate behavioral ways in which to sustain and maintain the physiological and endocrine systems that underlie behavioral adaptations. Writing for his fellow academics, and with chapters on evolutionary aspects, chemical messengers and social neuroendocrinology among others, Jay Schulkin explores this fascinating field of behavioral neuroscience"-- Provided by publisher Psychoneuroendocrinology Sociobiology Brain Evolution Adaptation (Physiology) Allostasis Well-being 0 0 0 0 10000 10000 2019-09-04 229.43 1 QP356.45 .S38 2011 0000068317 2019-11-11 00:00:00 2019-10-22 1 229.43 2019-09-04 OPEN VIRTUA40 63196 63202 VTLSSORT0080*0200*0201*0400*0900*1000*2450*2600*3000*5040*5200*6500*6501*6502*6503*6504*6505*9992 1
