專業(yè)概況
在這里學什么?
The Psychobiology major is designed for students who plan to go on to postgraduate work in physiological psychology, neuroscience, behavioral aspects of biology, or the health sciences. Psychobiology is the study of behavior from a biological perspective. It includes neural, experimental psychological, natural history, genetic, comparative/evolutionary, and developmental approaches to understanding human and animal behavior.
The requirements described below include sufficient preparation if students plan to pursue graduate work in any of the above fields; however, they may want to include additional advanced courses in psychology and related sciences as well as other types of research and fieldwork experiences.
Learning Outcomes
The Psychobiology major has the following learning outcomes:
Demonstrated ability to use working knowledge of the nervous system to deduce the consequence of nervous system dysfunctions
Demonstrated understanding of molecular events at a cellular level by describing the physiological consequences of such events in qualitative and quantitative terms
Demonstrated ability to utilize knowledge of sensory systems by describing their processes in both quantitative and phenomenological terms
Demonstrated ability to choose and apply the appropriate quantitative analysis tools to a data set and meaningfully interpret the results of the analysis
Demonstrated ability to read primary literature in the field and evaluate the validity of conclusions in light of the methodology and statistical analyses used as well as the logic of assertions presented
Demonstrated ability to communicate the results of laboratory work orally or in writing with appropriate graphic depictions of the data
Ability to relate work in literature in meaningful ways, explaining the motivation for the study and the interpretation of the results
Demonstrated thorough knowledge of neuroanatomy, including lobes of the brain, major anatomical landmarks, cranial nerves, and major sub cortical structures
Demonstrated thorough knowledge of the sequence of events that results in an action
Demonstrated thorough knowledge of sensory systems, including signal transmission, neuroanatomical connections, and response properties of neurons in primary cortical areas
Ability to analyze the behavior of neurons in circuits and predict how other neurons in the circuit will react when other neurons are depolarized or hyperpolarized
