The Hidden Physiology of Behavior
What BCBAs, Doctors, and Psychologists Overlook Until Now
By Yoandra Gomez Uncu, BCBA
"It's not defiance. It's a nervous system in distress."
"It's not just behavior, it's the body asking for help."
This groundbreaking work bridges Applied Behavior Analysis, neuroscience, and medicine into a unified, compassionate science of human behavior.
The author offers a framework that moves beyond the traditional view of behavior as purely environmental, revealing the hidden physiological processes that shape our actions, learning, and emotional regulation.
Through clear language, real clinical cases, and evidence grounded in current research, the author explores how inflammation, pain, fatigue, gut imbalance, endocrine function, and sensory processing all influence behavior, and why recognizing these internal signals is critical for effective intervention.
In this transformative guide, you'll learn to: Apply the NeuroBehavioral Compass, linking body → brain → behaviorIdentify when behavior reflects physiological distress rather than defianceIntegrate medical, sensory, and behavioral data into treatment designRethink medication and reinforcement through a regulation-first lensBuild intervention plans that begin with the body, not the consequenceDesigned for BCBAs, psychologists, physicians, educators, and families, The Hidden Physiology of Behavior redefines what it means to "understand behavior."
Because behavior isn't the problem, it's the message.
