PSYC 2142 Social, Affective, and Developmental Neuroscience
This course builds on the basic foundation of neurological anatomy and processes by examining their importance for daily life. We approach human brain development using a lifespan developmental perspective, highlighting milestones in neurological structure and function across life. Key social and emotional functions are covered including face processing, emotion recognition, theory of mind, coping, and social support. To address clinical implications, we will engage in critical discussion about certain neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, autism, depression, and substance use.
