From the standpoint of modern neurophysiology, we talk about human biological needs, the general principles of our body’s functioning, the evolution of behavior, the impact of hormones on the brain, and the role of a number of mediators. Each lecture talks about specific biological needs: nutritional, research, parental, safety, and others. How do food components affect the brain? How does stress develop? What is the benefit of fear? What is the biological meaning of the sexual process? Are there genes for aggression? Why is drinking more important than eating, and why is it so bad without sleep?
