Brain and Behavior

Course content

This module provides an introduction to brain mechanisms and behavior. Students are expected to understand the basic concepts of how the brain supports cognitive functions, emotions, and behaviour. The course will cover topics such as brain structures, neural communication and the biological basis of psychological processes, as well as how these are affected in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions. By integrating theoretical knowledge with case studies and research findings, the course will support students in forming a deeper, brain-based understanding of human psychology.
