PSYC 29902 - Sex Differences in the Brain

Course Credit: 1
(NEUR)
SEX DIFFERENCES IN THE BRAIN This course will focus on the biological impact of sex on the brain and related behavioral outcomes. We will discuss physiological and gonadal hormone differences between biological males and females, the impact of those differences on the brain, learning, behavior, stress responses and more. We will assess research done with human and non-human primates, rodents, and birds, and imagine ways to ask new experimental questions to understand the broad reaching differences and effects of both genetic and hormonal differences. Our readings will come from both textbook and published empirical research. Prerequisite(s): PSYC-10000
