The goal of this course is to introduce a diverse field that is often referred to as “neuroscience”, but has been known by many different names since its birth in the late 1800s. We will survey physiological processes related to behavior and cognition in human and nonhuman species, as well as other biological mechanisms that are relevant to issues in psychology. Topics include basic functional neuroanatomy, neuronal structure and function, & the relationship between brain systems, psychosocial variables, and complex cognitive, perceptual, and emotional processes. We will also discuss neurological, neuropsychological, and psychiatric differences. In addition to serving as a general survey of some of the biological aspects of psychology, this course prepares students for more advanced neuroscience offerings (e.g. Psy 350, Psy 355, Psy 380, Psy 410).

Not open to students with previous credit in PSY 350 or PSY 355.

How the brain controls and regulates behavior., Basic properties of neurons, neurotransmitters,, and the basic anatomy of the nervous system., Emphasis on the brain's role in such functions as, sensation, emotion, language, learning and, memory, sexual behavior, sleep, motivation. The, biological bases of abnormal conditions, such as, affective disorders, amnesia, learning disorders. 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.

This is the Moodle page for the lab portion of Psy 355. I have them separated to make info a bit easier to find. You can link to the main course page from here (and vice versa).

We will cover a variety of foundational and contemporary issues in human neuroscience, and will engage in discussion of scientific methods and techniques used to investigate the relationship between brain function and cognition. The course will primarily emphasize higher cognitive and emotional function (cognitive and affective neuroscience) and the neurobehavioral underpinnings of psychopathology in humans (clinical neuroscience). Laboratory sections will supplement lecture and reading topics with demonstrations and experience with neuropsychological, cognitive neuroscience, and psychophysiological research techniques. The laboratory portion of this course strongly stresses experimental design and data analysis. However, we also get to play with brains. Brains are cool.

The course will primarily emphasize functional neuroanatomy, higher cognitive and emotional function (cognitive and affective neuroscience), the neurobehavioral underpinnings of pathology in humans (clinical neuroscience), and an emerging field known as “positive” neuroscience. Laboratory sections will supplement lecture and reading topics with demonstrations and experience with neuropsychological, cognitive neuroscience, and psychophysiological research techniques.

This page is just for the lab portion of Cog Neuro. Be sure to check both this one and the 'main' page.

BTW: The image for this page is a baby sea lion in an MRI at a wildlife recovery center

This is the Moodle page only for the lab portion of Psy 355 (it gets too confusing to have them both combined).

How does our connection to nature shape our mental and physical health? What role do green/blue spaces, wilderness, and environmental conditions play in human well-being? This course explores the intricate relationship between health psychology and nature, examining how our environments influence stress, disease, resilience, and overall psychological functioning. Through readings, lectures, and discussions, we will analyze the benefits of nature exposure, the consequences of environmental degradation, and the psychological dimensions of climate change, including eco-anxiety and climate grief. We will consider diverse perspectives, including Indigenous knowledge systems, evolutionary psychology, and public health frameworks, to understand how nature affects human flourishing across different cultural and socioeconomic contexts. Learning in this course is not a passive process; it requires active engagement with course materials, self-reflection, and collaborative dialogue. Students will be expected to critically engage with scientific research and real-world applications, integrating their own experiences and insights as we construct a shared understanding of the role nature plays in shaping human health. Together, we will explore how fostering a deeper connection with the natural world can serve as both a personal and collective strategy for well-being and sustainability.

Relations between culture and human behavior.
Examination of topics in psychology from a

special emphasis on cultural influence on research
methods, self-concept, communication, emotion,
social behavior, development, mental health.

behavior, and psychological theories and practices
in different cultures.
