There is a plethora of research that investigates the mind/body connection. This article provides a review of the advances in biological psychiatry, which includes the areas of psychobiology and psychoneuroimmunology (PNI). Psychobiology is the branch of biological psychiatry that examines the biology of thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Current research findings that illuminate the neurotransmitter systems of the brain are highlighted. Psychoneuroimmunology is a relatively new branch of science that strives to show the connections between psychology, neurology, and immunology. Research in the area of PNI has yielded much information useful to nursing. Implications of this knowledge for psychiatric nursing are addressed.
有大量研究探讨身心联系。本文对生物精神病学的进展进行了综述，其中包括心理生物学和心理神经免疫学（PNI）领域。心理生物学是生物精神病学的一个分支，研究思想、情感和行为的生物学基础。文中突出了当前阐明大脑神经递质系统的研究成果。心理神经免疫学是一门相对较新的科学分支，致力于揭示心理学、神经学和免疫学之间的联系。PNI领域的研究产生了许多对护理有用的信息。文中还阐述了这些知识对精神科护理的意义。
