Health psychology researchers working in the fields of psychosomatic medicine and psychoneuroimmunology, for example, are interested in understanding how psychological factors can “get under the skin” and influence our physiology in order to better und…

For example, if you are giving a speech about Occupy Wall Street, but you have not experienced one of their protests, you may choose to include statements from a protestor or someone who identifies with the goals of the movement.

(The binding ability of these particular proteins comes from their forked shape, from which the gene family gets its name.) The FOXP2 gene would appear to play an important role in orchestrating the establishment of the neural pathways during embryonic development, some of which are required for normal vocalizatio…

She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will.” What do you think Louise was fighting and why was she fighting it instead of embracing it?

Deleting the <e> not only changes the meaning of the word, but it also signals a change in the sound of the preceding vowel from a long or tense vowel to a short or lax vowel. Whenever you notice that the final <e> is being replaced with a vowel suffix, you can conclude that the <e> is single, final, and non-syllabic.

EEG and MEG are both considered direct brain imaging techniques since EEG measures the electrical activity from groups of neurons and MEG measures the magnetic fields that the electrical activity gives off.

Although each of us experiences ourselves as a singular individual, our sense of self is actually made up of three separate, yet integrated components: self-awareness, self-concept, and self-esteem.
