Author: František Koukolík
8,80 €
Understanding another person takes more than hearing their words. Sociální mozek examines the neural basis of abilities used in perceiving faces, inferring intentions, empathizing, and making decisions. František Koukolík connects questions of individual cognition with the behavior of human groups.
This revised edition also addresses large-scale neural networks and disorders of social cognition. Its topics reveal the complexity of relationships among the brain, experience, and interpersonal life. The discussion is scholarly, with concise summaries concluding each chapter.
The available sample introduces basic concepts and explains the historical development of social neuroscience. This Czech-language e-book in EPUB, PDF, and MOBI particularly suits readers with a serious interest in neuroscience. Students and professionals in helping professions and the humanities can use it to explore the biological foundations of social life. Its content should be read in the context of this edition’s period and continuing scientific development.
Koukolík examines how the brain processes social information and enables people to navigate relationships with others. The book connects an evolutionary perspective, research on cognition, and clinical contexts. It is intended for specialist reading and assumes a willingness to engage with demanding concepts.

What is Sociální mozek about?
Major areas include empathy, mentalizing, face recognition, language, and decision-making. The book considers groups as well as situations in which social cognition is impaired. It discusses autism, dementias, depression, psychopathy, and schizophrenia without collapsing these different issues into a single diagnosis.
The revised edition also covers large-scale neural networks. The introductory sample explains that the social brain refers to functional connections involved in processing social information and places the concept within the history of research. Chapter summaries provide reference points for more demanding study.
