PSY 243: Biopsychology (3h) (D)
Biopsychology is the study of how our biology affects how we think, feel, and make decisions. Not surprisingly, a large emphasis is placed on the brain. In this class, we will approach biopsychology in four separate, but overlapping, themes: Introduction to biopsychology (how neurons communicate with each other), interacting with the world (how our bodies and brains perceive external experiences), internal regulation (how our brain regulates things like hormonal regulation, food intake and sleep), and cognition (how our brains control our thinking, and when that goes wrong). An overarching theme that we will discuss all semester is that of neuroplasticity, or the ability of our brain to change in response to experiences. Sometimes change is a good thing, but not always. Psychology and Neuroscience minor credit
PSY 322: Psychopharmacology (3h) (D)
Pharmacology is the scientific study of the actions of drugs and their effects on a living organism. By contrast, psychopharmacology is the study of how the actions of drugs influence things like mood, thinking, and behavior. In this class, we will learn about how the study of psychopharmacology can help educate about important societal issues, such as addiction and use of pharmacotherapies. By taking this class, you will develop language to talk, not only about how drugs interact with the brain and change behavior, but also about issues related to drugs in society.
