PSYC 202: Biopsychology

NS- The overarching goal of this psychology course is to demonstrate how human experiences such as sensation, perception, emotion, memories, and complex cognitive processes are produced within the central nervous system. Students will explore research methods that neuroscientists use to investigate causal relationships between neuroanatomical structures and functions. Students will identify evidence of neuroplasticity and the interactions between experience, genetics, and the development of the central nervous system. The course will provide an evolutionary perspective on the organization of the brain and its complex psychological processes.
