Physiological Psychology (PP)
Journal Descriptions
Physiological Psychology was a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Psychological Association (APA) that focused on the biological foundations of behavior. Established in 1973, the journal served as an important platform for research exploring how physiological systems, especially the nervous system, influence psychological processes such as learning, memory, emotion, perception, and motivation. The journal emphasized experimental studies that linked brain function and behavior, including research in neuroanatomy, psychopharmacology, sensory processing, and behavioral neuroscience. It played a key role during a period when psychology was increasingly integrating biological and neurological approaches, helping to establish what is now known as biological psychology or neuroscience-oriented psychology. Articles published in Physiological Psychology typically involved laboratory-based experiments using animal models and human physiological measurements such as EEG, lesion studies, and pharmacological interventions. Over time, the journal evolved alongside advancements in neuroscience. In the early 1980s, the title was replaced by Psychobiology, reflecting a broader and more modern approach to brain–behavior research. Eventually, its lineage became part of Behavioral Neuroscience, which continues the same scientific tradition today.
