The goal of this course is to introduce students to the diverse field that is broadly called “neuroscience” these days, but has been known by many different names since its birth in the late 1800s. We will survey physiological processes related to the control of behavior in human and nonhuman species, as well as other biological mechanisms that are relevant to issues in psychology. Topics include basic functional neuroanatomy, the structure and function of neurons and neuronal transmission, and the relationship between brain systems and complex behaviors, cognition, and emotion. We will also discuss neurological, neuropsychological, and psychiatric disorders. In addition to serving as a general survey of the biological aspects of psychology. This course prepares students for more advanced neuroscience courses (Psy 350, Psy 355, Psy 380, Psy 410).
Students who have received credit for PSY/BIO 252, should not enroll in this course. Not open to, students with previous credit in PSY 350 or PSY, 355.
