Faglig innhold
The course provides a thorough introduction to the biological foundation of behaviour and cognition. It focuses on the neural mechanisms for behaviour and cognition, with particular emphasis on learning and memory, sleep, motivation, language, and emotions. The lectures will also address neurological and psychiatric symptoms and disorders, with emphasis on the underlying neural mechanisms.
The course emphasizes scientific literacy and involves writing an essay based on a literature search of a topic. Topics for the essays are related to the content of the course. The project will be given feedback in two rounds and is evaluated as approved/ not approved. The student must pass the project assignment before (s)he can take the exam.
