Psychoanalysis And Neuroscience By Mauro Mancia
Requirements: .PDF reader, 3.79 Mb
Overview: The papers collected in this volume have the aim of integrating the contributions from two disciplines: psychoanalysis and neuroscience. Recent great developments in the latter offer the opportunity to build a bridge to psychoanalysis, providing an anatomofunctional basis for some of the functions in which the psychoanalytic theories of the mind are rooted. The functions which are specifically discussed from an interdisciplinary point of view are the following: emotions, memory, unconscious, perception, attention, wakefulness, sleep, dreams, empathy, sharing affects, intentionality, embodied simulation, and aspects of infantile mental development. The book is divided into four sections. The first contains recent observations relating to memory in its double function (implicit and explicit) and its relation to the unconscious. This section also discusses the relationship between emotions, memory, and cognitive functions of the mind. Particular attention is paid to the right hemisphere, considered the emotional brain par excellence. Papers on the brains predictive capacities and its plasticity in relation to special functional states complete this first section. The second section is dedicated to neuropsychological findings from bio-imaging investigations related to the human mind’s ability to share emotional and affective experiences. Here the role of mirror neurons in empathy, intentionality, and embodied simulation is discussed.
