Course description
The course is equivalent to PSY 3061. It begins with brief overviews of the structure of the central nervous system, basic principles of nervous conduction and synaptic transmission, neurotransmitter systems, and basic techniques used in biological psychology research. We will then review current knowledge on the biological substrates of a range of
behaviors and mental processes, including perception, memory, emotion, and sleep. The course will also examine the biological basis of a variety of neuropsychological disorders and forms of mental illness, including addiction, depression, and anxiety. Finally, the course will take advantage of its location in Madrid to understand biological psychology within a
Spanish cultural and scientific context.
