This scientific field thus provides a new comprehensive framework for studying the brain, elevation, and human behavior. The authors of the chapters of this book, who are among the leading researchers in the fields of neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, and sociology (and headed by the editors of the book), attempt to explore the connections between: brain biology and its functions in the context of the social world. They also addressed the negative emotional and neurological effects resulting from social deprivation, parental abuse, and social violence. The authors explored these links with a particular focus on mental illnesses, including schizophrenia.
