Description

The primary goal of Behavioral Neuroscience is to establish relationships between brain systems/neural mechanisms and behavioral or cognitive functions. Biopsychology integrates the methods and research approaches from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, ranging from the cellular and molecular neurosciences to the psychology of perception and cognition.

This course will provide an in-depth introduction to behavioral neuroscience, with the first half of the course designed to ensure that students will gain a solid understanding of neuronal architecture and neural transmission, and the second half focusing on specific biopsychological topics such as reproductive behavior, stress, and sleep. While the curriculum will focus on the biological bases underlying behavior under normal conditions, this course will also provide an overview of psychopathology and neuropsychiatric disorders.

NOTE: This course is a prerequisite for many upper-level courses in Biopsychology.

Textbook: Behavioral Neuroscience, by S. Marc Breedlove and Neil V. Watson, 9th edition, 2019 ISBN: 9781605359076. Textbooks are recommended by not required.

Course Requirements:

Students will be evaluated upon their performance on three exams (composed of multiple choice and free response/short answer questions), participation in lecture, at least one writing assignment, and participation in discussion and all discussion-related activities (including but not limited to an anatomy practical exam, written assignments based on journal articles, in-class activities, and a group project).

Intended Audience:

PSYCH 230 is intended primarily for sophomores and second-term first-year students who plan on majoring in BCN or Neuroscience and have ALREADY taken a course in introductory psychology. We strongly discourage the rare, but the occasional situation in which students enroll in another lecture or lab course that meets at the same time as the lecture in PSYCH 230.

Class Format:

The course consists of lecture and discussion sections. Students must register for the lecture and for one discussion section. Attendance is required.
