PSY 605 Biological Bases of Behavior

Introduces the structure and organization of the nervous system and other topics related to neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and brain-behavior relationships. Topics addressed will prepare students to identify and understand the function of major neuroanatomical structures and neurophysiological mechanisms that impact cognition, behavior, emotion, and sensorimotor functioning. Application of these concepts in clinical case conceptualization will be reviewed. The course will provide basic knowledge required for later study of cognitive and affective bases of behavior and psychopharmacology.
