- Class Description:
- Instructor: Jonathan Gewirtz. The course begins with brief overviews of the structure of the central nervous system, basic principles of nervous conduction and synaptic transmission, neurotransmitter systems, and basic techniques used in biological psychology research. We will then review current knowledge on the biological substrates of a range of behaviors and mental processes, including perception, memory, emotion, and sleep. The course will also examine the biological basis of a variety of neuropsychological disorders and forms of mental illness, including addiction, depression, and anxiety. By the end, you should be comfortable with the basic details of brain function and have gained a general understanding of the biology of behavior, mental states, and mental illness. You should also have begun to develop the skills to understand techniques and evaluate results of neurobiological and behavioral experiments.

- Neurophysiology/neuroanatomy, neural mechanisms of motivation, emotion, sleep-wakefulness cycle, learning/memory in animals/humans. Neural basis of abnormal behavior, drug abuse. prereq: 1001 or BIOL 1009 or NSci 1100 prereq: 1001 or BIOL 1009 or NSci 1100
- Class Description:
- Instructor: Jonathan Gewirtz. The course begins with brief overviews of the structure of the central nervous system, basic principles of nervous conduction and synaptic transmission, neurotransmitter systems, and basic techniques used in biological psychology research. We will then review current knowledge on the biological substrates of a range of behaviors and mental processes, including perception, memory, emotion, and sleep. The course will also examine the biological basis of a variety of neuropsychological disorders and forms of mental illness, including addiction, depression, and anxiety. By the end, you should be comfortable with the basic details of brain function and have gained a general understanding of the biology of behavior, mental states, and mental illness. You should also have begun to develop the skills to understand techniques and evaluate results of neurobiological and behavioral experiments.

- Class Description:
- This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policy, fee, and financial aid information. You work independently, not as part of a student group. Biological psychology is the study of behavior through the analysis of the nervous system and the study of the nervous system through analysis of behavior. The philosophical relationship between the "mind" and the brain has been debated for centuries. Discussions involve some of the most important concepts about human existence, such as "free will" and the existence of the soul. Here is the first (but certainly not the last) place that our own rather strongly held perspective will spill over into this study guide. The modern biological psychologist has found that our power to understand and explain behavior is greatest if we act under the hypothesis that the brain controls behavior. If we are to understand behavior, we must go to its source. Thus, to understand behavior, you must understand the brain. The pursuit of such understanding is a challenge, but it is an enormously tantalizing pursuit with great rewards.

- Class Description:
- Instructor: Jonathan Gewirtz. The course begins with brief overviews of the structure of the central nervous system, basic principles of nervous conduction and synaptic transmission, neurotransmitter systems, and basic techniques used in biological psychology research. We will then review current knowledge on the biological substrates of a range of behaviors and mental processes, including perception, memory, emotion, and sleep. The course will also examine the biological basis of a variety of neuropsychological disorders and forms of mental illness, including addiction, depression, and anxiety. By the end, you should be comfortable with the basic details of brain function and have gained a general understanding of the biology of behavior, mental states, and mental illness. You should also have begun to develop the skills to understand techniques and evaluate results of neurobiological and behavioral experiments.

- Class Description:
- This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. You work independently, not as part of a student group. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policy, fee, and financial aid restrictions. Biological psychology is the study of behavior through the analysis of the nervous system and the study of the nervous system through analysis of behavior. The philosophical relationship between the "mind" and the brain has been debated for centuries. Discussions involve some of the most important concepts about human existence, such as "free will" and the existence of the soul. Here is the first (but certainly not the last) place that our own rather strongly held perspective will spill over into this study guide. The modern biological psychologist has found that our power to understand and explain behavior is greatest if we act under the hypothesis that the brain controls behavior. If we are to understand behavior, we must go to its source. Thus, to understand behavior, you must understand the brain. The pursuit of such understanding is a challenge, but it is an enormously tantalizing pursuit with great rewards.
