NEU 163C - Brain, Behavior, and Environment Capstone Course
Course Title
Brain, Behavior, and Environment Capstone Course
Course Description
How do experiences and exposures get “under the skin” to impact human development? This course takes a research approach to understanding how the environment can shape adult behavior. We begin a review of foundations in endocrinology, neurobiology, reproduction, and development. This sets the stage for studying the developmental impacts of exposures and experiences including nutrition, stress, immune challenges, endocrine disruption, and more. Capstone courses involve reading, writing and discussion related to research and research design. Capstones also culminate in a substantial research paper on a topic related to the course subject matter and areas of student interest.
