Reductionism vs emergent properties (TRANS)"
"How does bird learn song?"
" "Through social interactions"
" "Through hearing/brain"
" "Through particular song nuclei"
" "Looking at structure of these nuclei"

Course Description:
This course surveys the field of Physiological/Biological
Psychology, an area of study concerned with physiological
and evolutionary explanations of perception, cognition, and
behavior. Because these functions depend on the nervous
system, a major focus of the course will be on the structure
and function of the brain with an emphasis on brain-
behavior relations. Topics will include: evolutionary
perspectives on brain and behavior, anatomy and
development of the brain, neural signaling
(neurotransmitters, drugs, hormones), and neural
mechanisms of sensory processing, motor control
(movement, action), motivated behavior (feeding,
drinking), emotion, and learning and memory.
Required Texts:
Biological Psychology (10th Ed.) James W. Kalat,
available at the bookstore
Supplemental readings may be posted on the course
website
Optional Resources:
Study Guide for Kalat's Biological Psychology

system be usefully divided into smaller units, either functionally (i.e., in terms of how things work) or structurally (i.e., in terms of how it is built)?
•! Why and how does Nadine Burke use assessments of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in her San Francisco medical clinic?

Summary"
•! Structured -- Not homogeneous mush"
•! Named descriptively"
•! Function is localized but also distributed!
•! Can identify structure/function (brain/
behavior) relationships"
