Course Description
The course presents the neuroanatomical, psychopharmacological and physiological bases of behavior. Research methods are presented followed by the empirical findings and principles on the organismic bases of psychological processes such as sensation, perception, learning and memory, consciousness and selected neuropsychiatric disorders. The specific approach of physiological psychology, where the independent variable is an organismic factor, is emphasized in order to explain the usage of the mainly infra-human research subjects in the area. The course aims to provide students with detailed information on the physiology of the nervous system (the neuron, nerve impulse and synapse interactions), neuroanatomy of the brain and behavioral consequences of damage to the physiological systems.
