4.00 Credits
This course explores the role of hormones in complex behaviors. Topics covered include biological contributions to reproductive, parenting, aggressive, and stress related behaviors in both animals and humans. Prerequisite: NEURO/PSYC 205, NEURO 390 or PSYC 390 or consent of instructor. (4)
-
4.00 Credits
The focus of this course is molecular and cellular neurobiology, including neuronal differentiation, cell structure, function, and connectivity. We will focus on how neurons are made, communicate, and are connected into circuits. Model systems used to study neuroscience will be introduced and we will use primary literature throughout. The laboratory will include research projects that are designed and carried out by the students. Prerequisites: BIOL 204, 205 CHEM 111, 112, 303. (4)

4.00 Credits
Cognitive neuroscience, as a field, seeks to discover how the brain enables the mind and embraces methods and knowledge from such fields as physiological psychology, neuropsychology, neuroscience and cognitive psychology, along with multiple techniques of neuroimaging, to attempt an understanding of human brain processes. Brain activity involved in such higher level processes as language, memory, and executive functions is explored via a review of current literature. Students will participate in (and design) experiments appropriate for use with the methods of cognitive neuroscience. In addition, students will gain experience using EEG equipment to study brain function. Prerequisite: PSYC 105, 205, 209, 390; MATH 150.
-
2.00 Credits
This course explores current topics in neuroscience across a variety of levels of analysis from molecular/cellular through behavioral. Students read current literature and propose research experiments incorporating multiple levels of analysis. Prerequisite: WCSAM 101, NEURO/PSYC 205, BIOL 204, and PSYC 390 or NEURO 390.
-
2.00 Credits
Course description with prerequisites: Students undertake an independent research project or a substantive portion of an ongoing research project and learn all aspects of scientific inquiry. One credit hour equates to three hours per week in the laboratory. This course may be taken for no more than two semesters. A research proposal and permission of a faculty mentor is required. PREREQS: NEURO 390
-
4.00 Credits
How is the brain involved in social processes and behavior, and how do our interactions with other people modify and shape the brain? In this course, students will learn about the interdisciplinary field of social neuroscience, the study of the neural bases of social behavior. This course will emphasize basic brain structures, functions, and mechanisms and processes implemented in social interactions, and how social behavior is shaped by biology and experience. Topics will include brain scanning technologies and methods, behavioral research methodologies, self and other representations in the brain, self-regulation, intergroup perceptions, emotion, motivation, attraction and interpersonal relationships, aggression, social rejection, and prosocial behavior. Prerequisites: Take PSYC 216 or WCSBS 115 or PSYC/NEURO 205; Take PSYC 390 or NEURO 390; or by Instructor Permission.

4.00 Credits
The goal of this course is to prepare students to describe the complexity and diversity of older adults, explore ways to work effectively with older adults and promote healthy aging. Students will examine aspects of aging within historical, cultural, physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual, economic and interpersonal contexts. The impact of an increased aging population on society and how society cares for the aging population will be a central theme of the course. (WCore: WCSBS)
-
4.00 Credits
The course includes the foundations of human dietary requirements, the basics of macronutrients and micronutrients, and nutritional needs across the lifespan needed for a pre-health occupation prerequisite. The primary prevention of the chronic diseases of first world populations, versus the needs of those of the third world will be compared and contrasted for the purpose of exploring complex issues of nutrition, food, health and environmental sustainability. Grounded in concepts of nutrition science and human ecology, the course will explore the impact of food production and consumption on human health and the environment. Deep learning is achieved through involvement in hands-on activities and assignments. Prerequisites: none. (WCore: WCSAM)
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory study of nutritional principles applicable to people throughout the life span, in both health and illness. Students learn nutritional assessment and the impact of personal and sociocultural factors on nutritional status. Dietary implications during critical developmental periods and pathologic conditions are discussed. Students analyze their own diets, discuss and experience therapeutic diets, and explore the process of making lifestyle changes related to nutrition. Prerequisites: BIOL 103, 104; CHEM 103
-
3.00 Credits
Provides students with knowledge of pathophysiologic processes and environmental factors that influence or alter an individual's health. Prerequisites: BIOL 103, 104; CHEM 103, 201; concurrent enrollment in BIOL 111.
