Abstract
Abstract 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.
