Course Summary
The course will explore how we sense, feel, motivate, behave, learn and remember. The processes and neural basis of sensation, cognition, motivation and behaviour, and the ways they may be studied (deconstructed) at systems, cellular and molecular levels will be illustrated by coverage of specific topics selected from but not limited to: the senses (vision, hearing, olfaction, taste, and somatic sensation); mechanisms and functions of emotion; planning, execution and control of movements and behaviour; mechanisms and functions of learning and memory; and aspects of brain development and plasticity. The style of teaching, and the learning outcomes that may be prescribed, will be designed to cultivate and develop students' independent, critical and creative thinking, via development of skills in evidence-based reasoning and problem solving.
