Why NEUROSCIENCE rather than PSYCHOLOGY?
The brain, for example, does not have a system dedicated to 'perception'.
No one part of the brain does solely one thing and no part of the brain acts alone.
In modern personality theory the nothion of 'self' typically refers to the conscious self, in the sense of having self- knowledge, a self-concept and self-esteem. However, the brain learns and stores many things in networks that function outside conscious awareness.
Some so-called personality traits are highly influenced by genetic history. However, people are not always true to their personality traits. A person can display extroverted behaviour at home and yet appear to be introverted at work.
Some instruments categories individuals into one of 16 types, but critics have long contended that typology oriented approaches to personality are too simplistic and often inaccurate.
