PSYC 5130G - Cognitive/Affective Neuroscience


This is an advanced seminar on the neural bases of cognition and emotion, which will provide a detailed understanding of the neural systems that enable us to perceive, think and feel. Following a brief discussion of relevant neuroanatomy, students will read empirical and review articles that detail the neural structures underlying major cognitive and affective constructs, including attention, memory, problem solving, reward, punishment, fear and anxiety. Prominent themes of the course will include the interaction between cognitive and affective processes, and the manner in which abnormal brain function may underlie well-established psychological disorders. Readings will focus primarily on human neuroanatomy, but some discussion of animal research may be included where relevant human work has not yet been undertaken. Group discussions will be encouraged throughout the course in order to stimulate particularly rich discussions of relevant issues.
Credit hours: 3
