Les concepts aujourd'hui promus par les neurosciences - causalité ascendante et descendante, émergence, plasticité... - permettent mais aussi obligent à réaborder autrement des questions anciennes comme les relations corps/esprit ou encore le débat nature/culture. Evitant tout réductionnisme, ce livre mène un dialogue rigoureux entre psychanalyse et neurosciences autour du fonctionnement du cerveau pensant.Jean-Pierre Lebrun échange avec Marc Crommelinck, professeur émérite à l'Université de Louvain, neurophysiologiste et épistémologue à propos de la psychanalyse et du développement des neurosciences. Les progrès incontestables de celles-ci ces dernières années mettent-elles en question la discipline que Freud a " inventée " et que Lacan a " réinventée " ? Leurs avancées ne contraignent-elles pas à revisiter les rapports du corps et du langage ? Ces questions sont abordées sous la forme d'un entretien vivifiant qui ne se contente pas des réponses simplistes auxquelles nous ont habitué les médias.

Vanuit neuropsychologisch gezichtspunt wordt de ontwikkeling van bepaalde hersenfuncties bij jongeren beschreven die verantwoordelijk zijn voor risicogedrag en wordt een verklaring voor hun 'anders zijn' gegeven. Honderden pubers belanden jaarlijks in het ziekenhuis met een alcoholvergiftiging.Ze vormen de meerderheid van gearresteerden op verdenking van misdrijven en maken de meeste ongelukken van alle weggebruikers. Het ene moment beloven ze dat ze geen alcohol of drugs gaan gebruiken en diezelfde avond gaat het al mis. Waar komt deze hang naar risicogedrag vandaan? Barbara Braams is expert op het gebied van risicogedrag in de adolescentie. Tijdens haar promotie aan de Universiteit Leiden heeft ze de invloed van leeftijd, puberteit en hersenontwikkeling op risicogedrag onderzocht. Ze werkt nu aan Harvard University waar ze de sociale invloed op risicogedrag tijdens de adolescentie onderzoekt.In Het riskante brein legt ze uit wat we de afgelopen jaren hebben geleerd over de relatie tussen risicogedrag en hersenontwikkeling, en hoe we deze kennis kunnen toepassen. Aan de hand van verschillende studies krijg je inzicht in het soms onbegrijpelijke gedrag van adolescenten en wordt duidelijk wat nu juist het belang is van dat risicogedrag.

This book is intended as a textbook for a course in behavioral economics for advanced undergraduate and graduate students who have already learned basic economics. The book will also be useful for introducing behavioral economics to researchers. Unlike some general audience books that discuss behavioral economics, this book does not take a position of completely negating traditional economics. Its position is that both behavioral and traditional economics are tools that have their own uses and limitations. Moreover, this work makes clear that knowledge of traditional economics is a necessary basis to fully understand behavioral economics. Some of the special features compared with other textbooks on behavioral economics are that this volume has full chapters on neuroeconomics, cultural and identity economics, and economics of happiness. These are distinctive subfields of economics that are different from, but closely related to, behavioral economics with many important overlaps with behavioral economics. Neuroeconomics, which is developing fast partly because of technological progress, seeks to understand how the workings of our minds affect our economic decision making. In addition to a full chapter on neuroeconomics, the book provides explanations of findings in neuroeconomics in chapters on prospect theory (a major decision theory of behavioral economics under uncertainty), intertemporal economic behavior, and social preferences (preferences that exhibit concerns for others). Cultural and identity economics seek to explain how cultures and people’s identities affect economic behaviors, and economics of happiness utilizes measures of subjective well-being. There is also a full chapter on behavioral normative economics, which evaluates economic policies based on findings and theories of behavioral economics.

This book is devoted to the executive, emotional, social, and integrative functions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). The PFC has usually been studied only with its executive function or with its emotional function, but recent studies indicate that the PFC plays important roles in integrating executive and emotional functions as well as in social behavior. The first part of the book reviews the functional organization of the PFC in human and nonhuman primates. The subsequent part focuses on the integrator of executive and emotional functions. The third part presents the integrator of executive and social functions, and the final part discusses the default mode of brain activities. There are chapters on animal studies, because functional significance of the PFC cannot be described without referring to those studies. Thus many methodologies are presented such as human neuropsychological, neuroimaging, and stimulation studies, and animal neuropsychological, neurophysiological, neurochemical, neuroanatomical, and neuroimaging studies. Bringing those together, this volume provides a timely and concise picture of the function of the PFC. The result is a valuable resource for students and scientists, providing up-to-date information on this emerging research topic.
