This unit addresses key issues in current psychobiological theory by exploring
the mechanisms of behaviour from their evolutionary origins and genetic base,
to their ultimate adaptiveness in psychobiological life. The unit is offered
as a study of the biological processes underlying behaviour including psychophysiology
and behavioural neuroscience. With a theoretical model of evolution as a process
of behavioural change, the presentation of selected topics in biological psychology
in lectures will be accompanied by illustrative examples of behavioural change
in laboratories.
