TL;DR
These data provide the first clinical evidence that differential neural activity mediates relationships between psychological risk factors and infectious disease pathogenesis and suggest novel targets for adjunctive therapy in long-term control of HIV-1 disease.
Abstract
These data provide the first clinical evidence that differential neural activity mediates relationships between psychological risk factors and infectious disease pathogenesis. Such findings also suggest novel targets for adjunctive therapy in long-term control of HIV-1 disease.

Suggestions to improve the assessment of behavioral interventions include more complete delineation of the physiological mechanisms by which such interventions might work; increased use of new, more convenient "alternative" end points for behavioral intervention trials; development of specifically targeted behavioral interventions (based on profiling of patient factors); and evaluation of previously developed models of predicting behavioral change.

The Neuropsychology of Temperament
525 Citations1991Jeffrey A. Gray
It is taken as axiomatic that all behavioral and psychological function depends upon the activities of the brain, and it follows that “neuropsychology” has a breadth which shadows that of “ psychology” itself: if there is a psychology of hunger, intelligence, love, or learning French, then there is ipso facto a neuropsychology of the same.
