PSYC 275 - Biological Psychology

This course focuses on issues concerning cellular and behavioral/cognitive neuroscience and is designed for students majoring in psychology. The first part covers neuroanatomy, neuronal structure and function, brain evolution and development, movement, and cellular models of memory. The second and third parts take students through cognitive neuroscience, sensory systems, sleep and dreaming, language, emotion, ingestive behaviors, psychopathology, and cognitive aspects of learning and memory. The course also teaches basic methodology so that students learn the many ways to ask and answer questions about brain and behavior in humans and non-humans alike.
