- ST: Selected Topics in Behavioral Neuroscience

Catalog description

Selected Topics in Behavioral Neuroscience is a three-hour survey course that examines a variety of human function and pathologies through the lens of behavioral neuroscience. From the neuroanatomical perspective, human behaviors are explored. The disorders and pathologies (such as dementias, mental illnesses, Parkinson’s and Hunington’s disease, etc.), that are a result of neuroanatomical difficulties are also addressed in this course along with treatment for these disorders and pathologies. Finally, the dynamics that make us uniquely human, the function purpose of the brain, and the formation of the mind are also studied.
