The goal of this course is to provide a comprehensive introduction to behavioral neuroscience. This includes a review of human brain anatomy, physiology and function with a focus on basic concepts of neural function, neurodevelopment and synaptic transmission. Primary literature will provide current and historical perspectives on experimental and clinical findings that contribute to our current understanding of nervous system function. Topics include hormones and reproductive behavior, sensory systems, sleep and biological rhythms, reward and motivation, mood, emotions and neurotechnological advances. Consideration of ethical issues surrounding neuroscience and its rapid advancements will allow immediate application of the content knowledge.
