The field of public health is primarily concerned with
understanding and improving physical health from a large group
perspective (i.e., communities and whole populations). The field of
social neuroscience, on the other hand, is primarily concerned with
examining brain-behavior relationships that unfold in a social
context. Both of these are rapidly developing fields of inquiry,
and their boundaries have only recently begun to overlap. This book
discusses collaborative research findings at the intersection of
social neuroscience and public health that promise to fundamentally
change the way scientists, public health practitioners, and the
general public view physical health within the larger social
context. Eighteen chapters are organized under the following major
sections: cognition and health outcomes; neuroscientific aspects of
health communication; health behavior and the neurobiology of
self-regulation; neurobiological processes in health decision
making; ecological and social context; neuroscience methods; and
future directions.
