Physiological Psychology

Meaning

Physiological Psychology, also known as biological psychology or psychobiology, is a scientific discipline that studies the neural and hormonal mechanisms underlying behavior, cognition, and emotion. It specifically investigates the relationship between an organism’s physiological processes—such as endocrine function, brain structure, and neurochemistry—and its psychological states, including mood, stress response, and cognitive performance. In the hormonal health space, this field provides the foundational understanding of how hormone imbalances and targeted therapies influence mental well-being and neurological function.
