PSYDBS 752 Advanced Homones and Behavior

This course will examine the neural and hormonal correlates of behavior. We will consider how hormones influence the development and activation of behavior, and how behaviors, in turn, regulate neural and endocrine physiology. Our discussions will primarily focus on hormone-behavior interactions in mammalian systems. Throughout the course, we will explore the hormonal influences on sex determination, sexual behavior, mating behavior, parental behavior, dominance and aggression, responses to stressful stimuli, immune function and homeostasis, biological rhythms, learning and memory, and endocrine disruptors.
