Ádám György: Interoception and behaviour. An experimental study (Budapest, 1967)
G. ÁDÁM INTER ОСЕ PTI ON AND BEHAVIOUR AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY The monograph will be of value in filling the gap between the neurophysiological and psychological aspects of interoception. It sums up twelve years’ research on the central nervous integration of visceral afferent impulses. Five of the six chapters are devoted to the experimental work of the author and his team on the behavioural and electrophysiological mechanisms of interoceptive conditioning; an introductory chapter gives a brief account on the peripheral interoceptive mechanisms. The last chapter, an ‘excursion ’ into psychology, deals with the relation of interoception to consciousness and tries to outline the possible effect of visceral input on emotional behaviour. The book will appeal primarily to neurophysiologists and psychologists, but should be of interest also to clinical psychiatrists and neurologists. AKADÉMIAI KIADÓ BUDAPEST
