Biopsychology explores how the brain and nervous system influence human behaviour. Basic understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying psychological processes is a must for anyone in the field of psychology. This knowledge forms the foundation for understanding more complex psychological processes and underlying mechanisms of psychopathology and neurological disorders later on. The present course is designed to serve as a primer to help you learn and understand the known biological underpinnings of human brain functioning, basic cognitive processes, sensation, perception, movement, regulation of biological rhythms, biological drives, learning, memory, and emotional behaviours.
