NEUR 8336 SOCIAL NEUROSCIENCE (3 credits)
This course will evaluate the biological substrates of sociality and social behavior, and examine how brain events bias social behavior and cognition, as well as how social behavior and cognition influence brain functioning. We will explore the neural mechanisms that inform social behavior and explain our ability to recognize, understand and interact with others. Cutting edge questions on concepts such as love, trust, empathy and prejudice will also be explored. (Cross-listed with NEUR 4330, PSYC 8336).
