Neurocognitive and behavioural science is a unique discipline with the potential to develop new research in the fields of neuroscience and social, biological and engineering sciences. Combining the authors' own research with a comprehensive survey of the field, the book marshalls impressive evidence to explore the idea that prosocial and positive emotional behaviours enhance the neurocognitive plasticity of the human brain. The authors discuss the relationship between prosocial and positive action and the recovery of brain tissue loss, blood-brain-barrier (BBB) breakdown, brain hypo-perfusion and inflammatory responses predict the onset of neurodegeneration (ND), in particular in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This text is an ideal reference for the laboratories of neuroscience, clinical linguistics, neurolinguistics and cognitive sciences. It also comprises a useful interdisciplinary course text for undergraduate and graduate students.

Key Features:

• The book contains twelve chapters dedicated to the outcome of the research findings of the authors. It also contains a comprehensive review of the literature relevant to the context of how prosocial activities influences neural signature, and thereby modulates societal harmony and cooperation.

• For the first time, the quantitative and computational approaches have been discussed and presented to classify and categorize the neural signature of prosocial behaviour and languages in the human brain.

• The scope of the book covers the area of behavioural science, neuroscience, psycholinguistic, and social and affective sciences.

• This book will serve as a reference book which will be useful to the laboratories of neuroscience and cognitive science. Both experts and non-experts will benefit from the research.
