Description

Our thoughts, feelings, perceptions and actions are all products of the workings of the human brain. But our brain and its related nervous system is housed in our body, and like the rest of the body is also influenced by the activities of chemical messengers called hormones. This module takes a biopsychological approach to understanding how the nervous and hormonal systems interact to produce human thought and behaviour. Through a series of varied topics, we will consider how such systems allow us to monitor, understand and interact with the world around us.
