Description
Inside the Radicalized Mind provides a groundbreaking exploration of the neuroscientific foundations of radicalization and violent extremism. Author Tiffiany Howard synthesizes research from neuroscience, psychology, and political science to understand how brain function, cognitive processes, and political circumstances converge to create conditions for radicalization.
The book investigates the neurological mechanisms that make certain individuals vulnerable to extremist ideologies, including factors such as threat perception, identity formation, and reward processing. Howard examines how neuropolitical dynamics—the intersection of brain biology and political systems—shape radicalization pathways and sustain violent extremist behavior.
As part of Cambridge University Press’s Elements in Experimental Political Science series, this work contributes to a deeper understanding of terrorism prevention and counter-extremism strategies by revealing the biological and environmental foundations of radicalized thinking.
