Behavior is generated by the interplay between hormones and the brain. In this course, human and animal research will be examined to explore how the endocrine and nervous systems interact to control functions such as reproductive behaviors, aggression, and food intake. The course will also examine how the brain modifies hormone levels to cope with changing environmental conditions and stress.
This course is open to PSYCH majors only. PreReq:PSYCH100&330orBIO550 This course is geared to and intended for Neuroscience track students.
