Biology, Culture and Lifestyle

Catalog description

This course is about the biological stress (and health) responses to everyday life. It will focus on stress hormones, blood pressure variation and immunological responses, their history, their biology, how they get measured, how they change during everyday life and how they differ cross culturally. There is also a chronobiological aspect examining the way human biology continuously changes both intrinsically and during the day as a person meets different behavioral challenges.
