APSY 7221 Neurological and Biological Bases of Behavior
Health professionals work with many clients where biological and neurological factors play a role in influencing or exacerbating psychological problems. This course will touch on a variety of topics in psychology from a biological perspective that will be helpful in clinical practice. Areas to be covered include the basic structure and function of neurons, basic neuroanatomy, cognitive functions, substance abuse, addictions, and psychopharmacology. Discussion of these topics will be approached from a biopsychosocial approach. Students are encouraged to ask questions throughout the lecture to both clarify material and to work toward application of the material to clinical work
