SBS 390 - Brain and Behavior

This course will explore the relation between the human brain as a physical organ, the mind as it relates to the brain, and behavior. We will explore how the human brain is structured and how those structures control various function; the basics of how neurons communicate with each other, electrically and chemically; how the brain develops and “brain circuits” are formed; and how memory, emotion, identity, and spirituality grow out of the “wetware” that is our most complex organ.
