CSP 660 - Physiological Bases of Behavior

3 Credit(s) | Lecture | Graded
Not repeatable for credit

Description:
This course will give graduate students foundational knowledge of the biological bases of human behavior. Course content covers systems and structures of the nervous system, neuronal communication, genetics, hormonal, and environmental influences on the brain and nervous system. The course includes exploration of physiological processes such as perception, memory, language, and emotion. Activities designed to increase understanding of neurodevelopment, problems that cause pathology, and interventions are included.

Course Note
This course has traditionally been offered as an in-person/on-campus course. The primary modality for delivering the content is via a series of online modules covering the organization of brain structures and functions. Therefore, pedagogically remote (online) delivery aids with the teaching and learning in the classroom.
