IS 350 - Behavior & the Brain (3)

This course seeks to explain vertebrate (especially human) behavior, traditionally within the domain of psychology, in terms of the biological disciplines of physiology, development and evolution. Behavior will thus be examined from the viewpoint of both the psychologist and the biologist, with common themes emerging from the two somewhat different views. The course provides an introduction to the biological mechanisms most relevant to key issues in psychology. PRE-2015 CORE: Level III. 2015 CORE: Explorations of Nature, Contribute, Interdisciplinary Studies.
