Biopsychology is the scientific study of the biological bases of behavior and mental processes. It aims to understand behavior through knowledge of neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, and neurophysiology. There are several divisions and approaches within biopsychology. Research methods include experiments using both human and nonhuman animal subjects, as well as case studies. Biopsychologists seek to understand behaviors and cognitive processes by converging evidence from multiple research approaches and levels of analysis, from molecular to systems levels. The goal is to generalize principles and reduce explanations of complex phenomena to their biological underpinnings.
