| Course Objectives: | Acquiring basic knowledge to understand human behavior as a whole. |
| Course Content: | This course will discuss the neurobiological basis of human behavior. Following a review of functional neuroanatomy, we will examine how complex functions such as attention, memory, language and emotions arise. The role of neurotransmitter systems and intracellular molecular mechanisms in the emergence of these functions will be emphasized and the concept of neuronal plasticity will be discussed. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) introduce approaches that work by bringing together molecular, preclinical, and clinical models of brain function 2) Linking these biological models of brain function with behavioral, affective and cognitive functions and their disorders 3) Acquiring basic knowledge to understand human behavior as a whole |
