PSY 3219 - Biopsychology and Emotion

Credits: 4
This course provides an overview how cognitive and emotional processes are mediated and affected by biological factors in the brain and in our body (e.g. autonomic arousal, immune system, metabolic factors, and their interaction), and how their alterations may contribute to psychopathological conditions. Selected topics will be discussed, including stress, neurodevelopmental problems, their evolutionary perspective, and how current animal and human research aim to solve these problems. There will be an emphasis on fear-anxiety, and aggression-related disorders.

 
This course is offered at the Budapest campus.
