PSYC 3210 - Introduction to Neuroscience

(3) Credit Hours
Prerequisite: PSYC 1102  
This course examines how the internal and external environments act upon the central nervous system to produce perceptions, control body functions and generate behavior. Basic principles of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neurochemistry are discussed to develop an understanding of how these brain properties underlie human thought, physiology and behavior. Topics include neural bases of action; reward and motivation; learning and memory; emotions; sleep and biological rhythms; and neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Both experimental and clinical data are considered.
