Overview
The course demonstrates how physiological, pharmacological and genetic changes can modify some of the brain's more complex functions such as language development, locomotion, stress responses, pair bonding, paying attention, anxiety, fear, sleep, depression, eating habits, altruism and drug dependence. The course focuses on the main concepts in behavioural genetics and neuropharmacology and explores the experimental strategies that can be used to find genes related to behavioural traits. Moreover, opinions about the current debate on the importance of inheritance and environmental factors on human and other animal behaviours are treated.
