PSY 2004 Physiological Bases of Behavior
This course surveys the current information on brain-behavior relationships. Emphasis is placed on a critical approach to the methods of investigation and how these methods affect our ideas about brain function. The aim of the course is to provide a description, within the present state of the art, of how physiological systems contribute to, cause, or maintain various forms of behavior. Basic concepts in neurophysiology and neurochemistry also will be covered. Physiological processes mediating sensation, perception, development, motivation, hunger, thirst, sleep, arousal, learning, memory, language, mental illness, and consciousness may be among the topics examined.
