This course offers an introductory overview of the functioning of the nervous system and how that functioning relates to behavior and experience. Students will have an introduction to the structure and function of the neuron, the synapse, and the anatomy and organization of the nervous system. Additional topics may include how the brain is influenced by drugs and hormones; how it mediates sensation and perception; the brain?s role in maintaining homeostasis; how the brain directs movement; and the brain?s role in cognition and emotion. There will be a focus on the interplay of genetics, physiology, and the environment in influencing behavior and mental processes. Implications of the field for the understanding and treatment of neurological and mental disorders may also be explored. Please note: Students should not enroll in this course and the advanced level of the same course title as there is significant redundancy in the content of courses.
