Biological Psychology

Address questions of how the human brain and nervous system produce our range of behaviors—sensation, emotions, sleep and dreams, reproductive behavior, language and memory—as you explore brain-behavior relationships with an emphasis on clinical examples.

Clinical examples include depression, schizophrenia, eating disorders, sleep disorders, aggression, post-traumatic stress disorder, visual agnosia, dyslexia and amnesias.

You’ll begin with studying the basic structure and function of the nervous system, then move to explore the organic bases of behavior.
