Executive Functions in Psychiatric Disorders
Executive Functions comprise a range of neuropsychological processes related to intentional behavior and cognitive control. There are several theoretical models defining and explaining the concept of Executive Functions. Most of these models consider that the term Executive Functions encompasses cognitive process as working memory, cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control and other complex functions as planning, problem-solving and abstract reasoning. Other models argue that motivational and emotional functions, such as affective decision-making, reside under the concept of Executive Function. Much evidence supports how complex cognitive functions are related to the physiological activity o...
Holistic Perspectives on Trauma

Early trauma impacts individuals' health in ways that reach far past the obvious and immediate damage
Research on Emotion and Learning: Contributions from Latin America
Latin America has increased its share of world scientific publications by nearly twofold during the last two decades (approximately from 2 to 4%). Despite this positive trend, the scholarly impact of scientific research produced in the region - measured in terms of citation rate - remains low. Two interrelated factors that contribute to this situation is that most research groups tend to work in isolation or in local sporadic collaboration, and results are often published in journals that are not indexed in major citation databases (e.g., SCOPUS, or Web of Science). Ultimately, part of Latin American high-quality research seems to remain hidden from the rest of the world. Over the last decad...

From Retribution to Public Safety
Over the past fifty years, American criminal justice policy has had a nearly singular focus – the relentless pursuit of punishment. Punishment is intuitive, proactive, logical, and simple. But the problem is that despite all of the appeal, logic, and common sense, punishment doesn't work. The majority of crimes committed in the United States are by people who have been through the criminal justice system before, many on multiple occasions. There are two issues that are the primary focus of this book. The first is developing a better approach than simple punishment to actually address crime-related circumstances, deficits and disorders, in order to change offender behavior, reduce recidivis...
Neurodireito e negócios jurídicos
Firme nessa proposta, a obra ingressa no terreno árido em que o diálogo sobre tal interface ainda se encontra no Brasil, para apresentar, com didática impecável, as valorosas reflexões em torno dos processos decisórios humanos e sua influência na regulamentação de negócios jurídicos no Direito Privado brasileiro. Sem descurar das evidências que há tempos vêm sendo utilizadas para aprimorar estudos e resultados em áreas como economia, políticas públicas e saúde, os autores esmiúçam estudos das Ciências Cognitivas e seu impacto nos fundamentos e na dinâmica de institutos jurídicos, com destaque para os trabalhos de Richard Thaler e Cass Sunstein em torno da noção de nu...
