Physiological Psychology is a subarea of psychology that takes a biological approach to understanding human behavior. Therefore, biopsychologists try to understand and describe the biological processes that underlie thoughts, feelings, and actions. The main focus of physiological psychology lies on the relationship between the brain and behavior.

Topics include: the basic structure and function of the nervous system, the whole range from single neurons up to complex cognitive functions; evolution and genetics; the development of the neural system, sensory system, motor system, language, and learning and memory.
