PSY 1467 - EMOTION AND THE BRAIN

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Long Description Our emotions can seemingly rule our daily lives. Feeling happy, angry, or sad can influence the things we do and the decisions we make. Why is that? Neuroscience has started to reveal some important answers to these questions. Through research with neuroimaging (MRI; PET), neurologically- damaged humans, and non-human animals, we have begun to understand the neural mechanisms by which emotions are generated and regulated. This course will unpack these ideas and focus on the links between emotion, cognition, and the brain. We will also discuss how individual and contextual differences may influence and interact with the brain to give rise to our emotions.
