This course is designed to explore the physiological bases of behavior, including learning, motivation, psychopathology, emotion, the senses, body rhythms, and other brain-behavior relationships. A goal of the course is to make biological psychology accessible to psychology students, as well as biology and Human Performance majors and pre-med students. Students will benefit from knowing that a biological perspective is relevant to the study of psychology because all thoughts, feeling and behavior ultimately have a biological cause.
