PSY V5700

About this course

This course aims to provide an exposition of research and theory in the biological bases of normal and abnormal behavior. A survey of literature will span from nerve cells, the organization and functioning of the nervous system, to the neurobiological systems that underlie sensation, motor behavior, emotion, cognition, and self-other representation, and social behavior. The course also integrates understanding of altered behavioral processes of brain-damaged and psychiatric patients with knowledge of basic neuronal and neurobiological processes.
