PSY-707: Biological Bases of Behavior dives into the intricate connections between the brain, biology, and behavior. This course explores how the nervous system functions at cellular, molecular, and anatomical levels to shape everything from memory and learning to emotions and motivation. We’ll examine the biological underpinnings of mental health disorders, sensory processing, and the impact of genetics and environment on brain development. Through case studies, discussions, and applied activities, students will gain a foundational understanding of how brain mechanisms influence behavior, providing essential insights for both research and applied psychological sciences.
