Course Title:
Clinical Neuroscience
Course Description:
Explores the neurobiological, genetic, and neurochemical etiology of mental illness as described and categorized according to the DSM IV. In the class we discuss how psychology, neuroscience, pharmacology, and medicine come together to manage mental illness. For each specific mental illness covered we investigate how changes in physiology and biology might manifest in the aberrant behaviors that define psychopathology. Lastly, we examine how pharmacology is often used to treat these various mental illnesses and how genetic expression is involved in predisposing some people to these disorders while sparing others.
