PSYC 422 - Neuroendocrinology

Credit(s): 3
This advanced course is designed to be a continuation of PSYC 375 with special emphasis on physiology, the mechanism by which hormones produce changes in behavior, and how behavioral interactions can
alter hormones. Some specific topics may include current research into the relationship between hormones and health (sleep, stress, immune function, appetite, obesity, etc.) and social behaviors.
Mammalian systems, including model systems (rodents), humans, and nonhuman primates, will be the primary models of analysis in this course.
