Description

Behavioral Neuroscience is the discipline dedicated to the scientific investigation and advancement of theory pertaining to processes underlying the biological basis of human behavior. The filed is interdisciplinary in approach touching on fields of study such as psychology, biology, chemistry, neuropharmacology, biochemistry, and the clinical sciences (e.g., neurology and neuropsychiatry). The goal of this course is to provide an advanced survey of current topics in behavioral neuroscience. The course takes a research based approach through interpretation, analysis and application of experimental findings. Additional insight will be gained by examination of neural dysfunction in neurological and neuropsychiatrically impaired clinical populations. My hope is that by the conclusion of the course, students will have advanced knowledge in concept and theory, research methodology, and application of neuroscientific knowledge to normal behavior and clinical disorders/syndromes.
