In her new book Art and the Brain: Plasticity, Embodiment and the Unclosed Circle, Amy Ione offers a profound assessment of our ever-evolving view of the biological brain as it pertains to embodied human experience. She deftly takes the reader from Deep History into our current worldview by surveying the range of nascent responses to perception, thoughts and feelings that have bred paradigmatic changes and led to contemporary research modalities. Interweaving carefully chosen illustrations with the emerging ideas of brain function that define various time periods reinforces a multidisciplinary framework connecting neurological research, theories of mind, art investigations, and intergenerational cultural practices. The book will serve as a foundation for future investigations of neuroscience, art, and the humanities.

19th-century investigations into the nervous system produced discoveries that changed ways of thinking far beyond the scientific community. Scientists began to conceive of the subject not principally as soul, mind, or even brain, but instead as a complex of organically interacting mechanisms, many of them operating more or less autonomously and unconsciously. Meanwhile, theatrical works of the time by Shelley, Wagner, Dickens, Buchner, Zola, and Strindberg, sought to play directly on the nerves of the spectators, comprising a coherent genre Matthew Wilson Smith has dubbed the 'theatres of sensation.' 'The Nervous Stage' examines the relations between theatrical practices and the scientific study of the nervous system, arguing that to a degree, modern theatre emerged out of the interaction between these two apparently disparate fields.

"Neuroscience sheds light on the human proclivity for storytelling. Humans would not produce narratives so prolifically if they weren't somehow good for human brains and embodied interactions with the world. The author connects neuroscience with humanistic narrative theory. He explains how stories coordinate time, represent embodied action, and promote social collaboration, which are all fundamental to the brain-body interactions through which humans evolved as a species and constructed the cultures they inhabit"--

The goal of the Oxford Handbook of Cultural Neuroscience is to highlight the theoretical and methodological advances in the field of cultural neuroscience and the role that these scientific advances can play in understanding how to close the gap in population mental health disparities. Population mental health disparities may arise due to unequal access to healthcare as well as due to the interaction of cultural, biological, and environmental factors that produce inequalities in mental health outcomes. In this edited volume, contributors provide overviews of the current state of knowledge about how and why population health disparities exist as well as the role that a cultural neuroscience approach to the understanding of the mind, brain, and behavior can play in closing the gap in population health disparities. This volume is divided into the following seven parts: Part I. Conceptual and Methodological Issues in Cultural Neuroscience; Part II. Cultural Neuroscience of Emotion; Part III. Cultural Neuroscience of Cognition; Part IV. Cultural Neuroscience of Social Cognition; Part V. Cultural Neuroscience of Intergroup Processes; Part VI. Culture and Genetics; and Part VII. Linking Population Health Disparities and Cultural Neuroscience.
