PSYC 489G is a study on the interactions among hormones, the brain, and behavior – known as behavioral endocrinology. The field of behavioral endocrinology is an exciting, interdisciplinary field, involving the study of phenomena ranging from genetic, molecular, and cellular levels of analysis to the study of individual and social behaviors. The course will be presented in a lecture-style format, with the aid of wonderful videos and animations that will help illustrate some of the behavioral and physiological concepts discussed during the lectures. The goal of the course is to provide students with an understanding of the interactions between hormones and behavior.
