3.00 Credits
Review of phenomena and research on sensory processes and their role in perception. Readings and discussion will examine evidence from behavioral, psychophysical, and physiological research, and consider implications for explanations arising from the mechanistic, cognitive, computational, and naturalistic theoretical perspectives. Prerequisite: PSY 100 or permission. Corequisite: PSY 230 or BIO 210. Same as PSY/SPM 301. Owens
-
3.00 Credits
Behavioral and mental processes as viewed from a biological perspective with particular emphasis upon the role of neurochemical and endocrine factors in central nervous system function. Topics covered will include reproduction and gender, chemical senses and ingestion, emotion, learning, sleep, and psychopathology. A neuropharmacological approach to the study of the nervous system will be emphasized. Prerequisite: PSY 100 or BIO 110 or permission. Same as PSY/SPM 302. Heyser

3.00 Credits
What is intelligent behavior, what is it for, and how did it evolve We will attempt to answer these questions and understand the nature and development of Mind from a comparative perspective. We will do so by investigating learning, perception, memory, thinking, and language in animals and humans. Research activities and analyses integrated into course work. Prerequisite: One of: PSY 100, PSY 301, PSY 302, PSY 303, PSY 304, PSY 305, BIO 240, BIO 250, or PHI 338, or permission. Corequisite: PSY 230 or BIO 210. Same as PSY/SPM 306. R. Thompson
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the process by which human and animal behavior changes as a function of experience. Examines basic mechanisms for learning (including habituation, sensitization, and classical and operant conditioning) and explores the scientific and practical application of these mechanisms to explain and predict behavior. Discusses the extent to which learning mechanisms are consistent across species, and how the physiology, natural environment, and social systems of individual species interact with basic learning processes to produce different behavioral outcomes. Same as PSY 310. Staff
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced issues in neuroscience will be explored from a comparative perspective in this lecture/seminar hybrid. The major sensory modalities will be studied-from stimulus transduction to perception-asmodels of neural processing. Current research in cellular, systems-level, integrative/behavioral, and cognitive neuroscience will be emphasized. Laboratory includes an independent research project in sensory neurobiology defined, proposed, pursued, and disseminated by small research teams. Prerequisite: BIO/BFB 240 or BIO 230 and permission of the instructor. Same as BIO 330. Jinks
-
3.00 Credits
Behavioral ecology is an integrative discipline that synthesizes ecology, evolution, and physiology into the study of the origin and persistence of behaviors. We will study the fitness consequences of behavior, with particular attention to the study of adaptation, sexual selection, evolutionary tradeoffs and constraints, and life histories. We will examine the interplay between proximate control and ultimate consequences of behavior. The course will focus heavily on peer-reviewed literature. Prerequisites: BIO 110 and permission of instructor. Same as BIO 337. Ardia
-
3.00 Credits
This seminar utilizes a problem-solving approach to learning neuroanatomy by relating structure to function and functional disorders using data from carefully documented clinical cases. Seminar meetings will include student-led clinical case presentations, analysis of clinical localization, analysis of associated neuroimaging, and discussion of clinical course and prognosis. The course will culminate with a class-wide debate on the biological basis of the mind. Non-traditional writing will be emphasized. Prerequisite: BIO/BFB 240 or BFB/PSY 302 and permission of the instructor. Same as BIO 343. Jinks
-
3.00 Credits
(e.g., BFB 375: Cognitive Neuroscience).
-
3.00 Credits
Directed Research in Animal Behavior or Neuroscience
-
3.00 Credits
Comparative perspectives and approaches to the study of selected topics drawn from cognitive and developmental psychology, cognitive ethology, cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, cognitive science, and behavioral primatology. Research required. Prerequisites: PSY 230 or BIO 210, one of PSY 250, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306; OR one of BIO 250, 330, 379; OR one of BFB 250, 301, 302, 306, 330, 379; OR permission of the instructor. Same as PSY/SPM 480. Staff
