PSYC 2315

Have you ever wondered how the brain gives rise to the mind? In this course, students learn about the exciting world of the brain, uncovering how it drives both normal and abnormal behaviour in humans and animals. They explore how the brain's structure and function shape fundamental processes like sensation, perception, movement, memory, and emotion. Students investigate cutting-edge psychophysiological research to reveal how the nervous system influences basic psychological processes, psychological disorders, and recovery from brain injuries. Throughout the course, students connect the science of the brain to real-life behaviours, gaining a deeper understanding of the powerful links between biology and behaviour.
