neurobehavioral
Concerning mind-action links
Neurobehavioral describes the relationship between the nervous system and behavior—how brain function influences actions, emotions, and cognition.
The term appears in medical and psychological contexts: neurobehavioral assessment, neurobehavioral disorders.
A neurobehavioral approach to learning disabilities examines how brain structure affects a child's behavior and performance.
