Cerebellum and Cerebrum in Homeostatic Control and Cognition: A Systems Approach to an Integrated Psychology

Cerebellum and Cerebrum in Homeostatic Control and Cognition presents a hybrid-brain psychology, proposing that the cerebellum and cerebrum operate as equal cognitive partners in learning-based control. It synthesizes neuroscience and psychology in terms of homeostasis and explores cerebellar and cerebral contributions to various disorders, including ADHD, ASD, and schizophrenia.

The groundbreaking work of Cerebellum and Cerebrum in Homeostatic Control and Cognition presents a novel perspective on hybrid-brain psychology, suggesting that the cerebellum and cerebrum collaborate as equal cognitive partners in the process of learning-based control. This comprehensive book seamlessly integrates contemporary neuroscience and psychology, drawing upon research and theories from various disciplines such as neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, and robotics. By focusing on the common underlying principle of homeostasis, it offers a novel interpretation of consciousness, the unconscious mind, REM dream sleep, emotions, self-monitoring and self-control, memory, infantile amnesia, and cognitive development. Through this interdisciplinary approach, the book explores various aspects of cerebellum-cerebrum offline interaction, including attention and working memory, and investigates the contributions of both the cerebellum and the cerebrum to various disorders such as ADHD, ASD, and schizophrenia.

Moreover, the book presents original ideas about neuropsychological architecture, making it an invaluable resource for academics, researchers, and post-graduate students in the fields of neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and clinical psychology. By delving into the intricate interplay between the cerebellum and the cerebrum, this book sheds light on the complex mechanisms underlying human cognition and behavior, providing valuable insights into the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders.
