Psycho-Physiology and Behavioral Health

This introductory course explains the basics of brain-body interaction via understanding of fundamental brain science. Brain-based correlates to behavior are drawn from recent neuroscience including knowledge of gross nervous system function, a survey of brain development, architecture and functional interactions, and basics in neuron development, migration and mechanisms including neurotransmitters. All these systems will be connected to different theories of behavior and pathology. Clinical application of this information will be explored in order to help inform treatment decisions, professional’s theories and questions from consumers.
