PSYC 205 is strongly recommended.; Current topic description: This seminar course will examine the neuroscience of mood disorders with a particular focus on depression. The goal of this course is to explore the neurobiology underlying the development of mood disorders, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for such disorders, and the animal models and conceptual frameworks that are being used to improve our understanding and treatment of mood disorders. We will investigate these topics using primary literature in both the clinical and basic science fields. The course format will blend journal club-style discussion, student presentations, and small group problem solving. Students will build the skills necessary to design experiments and critically evaluate scientific literature. Enrollment Cap: 16; If the course exceeds the enrollment cap the following criteria will be used for the lottery: PSYC and NEURO majors (equal weight) by class year (senior, junior sophomore); followed by PSYC and NEURO minors (equal weight) by class year (senior, junior, sophomore) |
