Psychoneurobiology is the growing body of scientific research into the relationship between psyche (spirit, emotions), neurones (nervous system - mind) and biology (the study of the physical manifestation of "life" i.e. the body). Psychoneurobiology is a scientific re-framing of the ancient mind, body, spirit (holism) concept of traditional Chinese medicine.

The Balance Within:
The Science Connecting Health and Emotions

Esther Sternberg provides accounts of the experiments that reveal the physical mechanisms, the nerves, cells and hormones - used by the brain and immune system to communicate with each other. She describes just how stress can make us more susceptible to all types of illness, and how the immune system can alter moods.
