Природа зверя:Как эмоции управляют людьми и другими животными (16+)

Chto takoe ėmot͡sii i zachem oni nuzhny? Za stoletii͡a izuchenii͡a ėtogo voprosa uchenye tak i ne nashli na nego otvet. Bolee togo, oni dazhe ne mogut dogovoritʹsi͡a, kak ėtot otvet dolzhen vygli͡adetʹ. Neĭrobiolog Dėvid Anderson ubezhden, chto obʺektivnyĭ i ėmpiricheskiĭ podkhod k izuchenii͡u ėmot͡siĭ mozhet predlozhitʹ neĭronauka. Ona pozvoli͡aet iskatʹ otvety na te voprosy ob ėmot͡sii͡akh, kotorye ranʹshe schitalisʹ nerazreshimymi. Dolgie gody Anderson izuchal neĭronnye sistemy, kontrolirui͡ushchie ėmot͡sionalʹnoe povedenie u zhivotnykh, chtoby poni͡atʹ analogichnye mekhanizmy raboty mozga u li͡udeĭ. Poluchennye uchenym rezulʹtaty imei͡ut ogromnoe nauchnoe znachenie. Oni pozvoli͡ai͡ut sdelatʹ vazhneĭshie vyvody otnositelʹno ėmot͡sionalʹnogo povedenii͡a zhivotnykh i cheloveka i obeshchai͡ut nastoi͡ashchiĭ proryv v lechenii psikhicheskikh zabolevaniĭ. K sozhalenii͡u, za poslednie 50 let ne bylo odobreno ni odnogo print͡sipialʹno novogo preparata dli͡a lechenii͡a psikhicheskikh zabolevaniĭ. Vse tak nazyvaemye novye lekarstva odnotipny. Rasskazyvai͡a o svoem podkhode k izuchenii͡u ėmot͡siĭ, Anderson vystupaet ne tolʹko kak teoretik, no i kak praktik, predlagai͡a poleznye strategii uluchshenii͡a ėmot͡sionalʹnogo intellekta i snizhenii͡a stressov, svi͡azannykh s ėmot͡sii͡ami. V otlichie ot zamiranii͡a, kotoroe obychno otrazhaet sostoi͡anie strakha, agressivnostʹ mozhet bytʹ svi͡azana s raznymi motivat͡sii͡ami: naprimer, ėto mozhet bytʹ otvet na ugrozu ili zhelanie ustanovitʹ dominirovanie. Kniga adresovana psikhologam, neĭrobiologam, a takzhe vsem, kto khochet nauchitʹsi͡a upravli͡atʹ ėmot͡sionalʹnoĭ sferoĭ. Naprimer, esli vy vypʹete neskolʹko chashek kofe, to blagodari͡a vozbuzhdai͡ushchemu deĭstvii͡u kofeina vy podprygnete v otvet na neozhidannyĭ zvuk, na kotoryĭ ranʹshe lishʹ povernuli by golovu ili voobshche ne otreagirovali.

What are emotions and why are they needed? For centuries of studying this question, scientists have not found an answer to it. Moreover, they can't even agree on what this answer should look like. Neuroscientist David Anderson is convinced that neuroscience can offer an objective and empirical approach to the study of emotions. It allows you to search for answers to those questions about emotions that were previously considered unsolvable. For many years, Anderson has been studying the neural systems that control emotional behavior in animals in order to understand similar brain mechanisms in humans. The results obtained by the scientist are of great scientific importance. They allow us to draw crucial conclusions about the emotional behavior of animals and humans and promise a real breakthrough in the treatment of mental illness. Unfortunately, not a single fundamentally new drug for the treatment of mental illness has been approved in the last 50 years. All the so-called new drugs are of the same type. Talking about his approach to the study of emotions, Anderson acts not only as a theorist, but also as a practitioner, offering useful strategies for improving emotional intelligence and reducing stress associated with emotions. Unlike fading away, which usually reflects a state of fear, aggressiveness can be associated with different motivations: for example, it can be a response to a threat or a desire to establish dominance. The book is aimed at psychologists, neuroscientists, as well as anyone who wants to learn how to manage the emotional sphere. For example, if you drink several cups of coffee, then due to the stimulating effect of caffeine, you will jump in response to an unexpected sound, to which you would have previously only turned your head or not reacted at all.
