Content: This module will introduce you to the study of the neurobiology of behaviour.听 It consists of five parts. Part 1: 鈥淗istorical Perspectives, Neurons, Neuroanatomy and Methods鈥� introduces foundational ideas that are built on in subsequent lectures. Part 2: 鈥淪ensory and Motor Systems鈥� introduces core ideas and experiments in the study of sensation and action. Part 3: 鈥淓motion, Consciousness, Stress and Social Behaviour鈥� covers these topics at the large-scale population level to specific neural circuits. Part 4: 鈥淟earning and Memory鈥� explore research examining how we and other animals remember the past and learn new information. Part 5: "Disorders and the Prefrontal Cortex" covers research on neurological disorders such as Alzheimer鈥檚 disease and mental health disorders such as schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder, and concludes with the role of the prefrontal cortex in controlling behaviour.

Teaching delivery: This module is taught via 20 hours of in-person lectures over 10 teaching weeks.

Indicative Topics: Indicative topics 鈥� based on module content in 2023/24, subject to possible changes: Historical Perspectives, Neuroanatomy, Neurons and Glia, Neurotransmitters, Research Methods, Neurotechnology, Sensing the world, Interacting with the world, Decision Making, Emotion, Stress, Social Bonding, Consciousness, Reinforcement and the Striatum, Amnesia, Memory systems, Sleep and Dreaming, Mental Disorders, Neurological Disorders and Prefrontal cortex.

Module Aims:

• To explore some of the biological bases of behaviour.
• To understand how low-level neural systems can co-operate in the regulation of complex behaviours.
• To give students insight into how low-level processes can constrain theories about how the high-level processes operate.
