Biological Psychology (MPC)

Ever wonder why you react to stress the way you do? Or why one person suffers from depression while another does not? Are you curious to know why you need sleep or feel hungry? This course looks at the biology behind these and other everyday experiences. You’ll learn about the neurons in your body and how they communicate, the various structures of the brain, and how the brain processes information from the world around us and produces behavior. You’ll see how scientists study the brain, from ea
