Overview

There is perhaps no more fascinating scientific frontier than the study of the brain and behavior. The goal of this course is to introduce you to the principal methods, theories, and findings of the scientific fields that seek to open this frontier. At the end of the term, you will know more about the following topics:

how the nervous system is structured and how it functions;
how the nervous system evolved and develops; and
how the nervous system influences behavior, thought, action, and emotion.
