This course will introduce students to basic neurophysiology, neurochemistry and neuroanatomy in humans and other animals. It will cover the methods used to study fundamental processes underlying neural development, function, and communication. By the end of the course, students will understand how the nervous system is able to produce and control a wide variety of behaviours, including those involved in vision, hearing, touch, memory and language.
Course content will be of interest to students from various backgrounds, including the psychological sciences, biological sciences, social sciences, medical sciences and health care areas. The format of the course allows students to work through a learning environment at their own pace, at a time that is convenient for them, wherever they are (e.g., home, work, other).
This course also fulfills three of the 12 required credits in foundations courses toward a bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of New Brunswick and is a pre-requisite for all upper-level neuroscience-related courses offered in the Psychology Department (e.g., Physiological Psychology, Experimental Human Neuropsychology).
