PSYC 230 - Brain and Behavior

4 Hour(s)

This course investigates the neurological foundations of human thoughts and action, from the single brain cells through complex biopsychosocial behaviors such as addiction, language, and mental illness. Students will develop an understanding of neuron structure and function, brain anatomy, and neuroimaging techniques, and evaluate the scientific evidence that links brain structures to behaviors. Laboratory activities will include evaluation of published research articles, computer simulations of neurons, and electrical recording of brain activity.

Prerequisite(s): PSYC 102 or BIOL 100
