BEHAVIOR AND ITS BIOLOGICAL BASES II (Psychology 702). The primary objective of the course is to provide an in-depth analysis of the biological basis of behavior with special emphasis on brain-behavior relationships. Topics will highlight research interests of some of the Behavioral Neuroscience Program faculty and include: the neurobiological basis of drug addiction, the role of conditioning in immune alterations, neuroendocrine influence on maternal behavior/aggression, and/or behavioral phenotyping of transgenic and knockout mice. Grades will be based on: 1) in-class presentation of assigned research papers (25%), 2) in-class closed book examinations (75%). This course is open and suitable for graduate students in Psychology and in the Curriculum on Neurobiology who are interested in studying the biological basis of behavior.
