  About: THE PSYCHOBIOLOGY OF GENE EXPRESSION
Psychotherapy, the humanities, and the healing arts are deeply engaged in the psychobiology of gene expression, neurogenesis, and mind-molecular communication to a degree that previous generations could not have dreamed of.
The psychobiology of gene expression contributes an understanding of the natural creative replay and resynthesis of human nature by integrating neuroscience, neurogenesis, and the numinosum in the humanities as well as therapeutic hypnosis, psychotherapy, and the holistic healing arts.
It is of essence in exploring the psychobiology of consciousness.

  Interdisciplinary Psychology Biology
Psychobiology is a subject that combines the disciplines of Biology and Psychology.
The subject arose from the identification of brain areas involved in certain behaviors and emotions; from the discovery in the 1950's that some psychological problems can be treated chemically; and from the subsequent identification of chemicals, called neurotransmitters, that pass neural messages from one brain cell to the next.
Many of Southampton's Psychobiology students have had research papers read at scientific conferences: an experience that is not only gratifying, but one that is particularly impressive on a resume when applying to graduate school or for a job.

 Principles of Psychobiology: Interactive Study Guide for the Allied Neurosciences from Red Reef Publications
The disciplines of psychobiology and neuroscience are similar because each seek to understand the brain, and some would suggest that the disciplines are the same.
Psychobiology and neuroscience involves studies of evolution and natural selection, comparative studies and taxonomy, anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, biophysics, and all aspects of neurobiology.
Because of this, studies in psychobiology and neuroscience are difficult for students and require a wide variety of educational resources related to the brain sciences.

 Epistemology, methodology and foundations of psychobiology, structuralism and systemism
The study of the hypercomplex phenomena would seem to require the creation of a new scientific field which could be called "empirico-synthesical", having its own methodological, critical analysis and scientific validation framework.
Psychobiology would be the empirico-synthesical science of interdisciplinary, global and systemic study of the somato-psychic continuum of human being.
The empirical-synthetical science of human behavior, founded on the systemic synthesis of the empirical-analytical data, would be the biological psychology, or psychobiology.

 Psychobiology of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: A Decade of Progress
Since the New York Academy of Sciences sponsored its 1996 conference on the psychobiology of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in New York City, there have been major research advances in the understanding and treatment of this disorder.
Most of the biologic findings presented at the 1996 conference in extremely preliminary form have withstood the test of time and replication, and almost without exception, the researchers who presented at the previous conference are still active researchers in the field of PTSD.
The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for intensive discussion of recent developments in the field of the psychobiology of PTSD, wherein ramifications of advances in biological studies and their implication for improved treatment paradigms are explored.
