Brain, Behavior, and Environment
How do experiences and exposures get “under the skin” to impact human development? This course takes a research approach to understanding how the environment can shape adult behavior. We begin a review of foundations in endocrinology, neurobiology, reproduction, and development. This sets the stage for studying the developmental impacts of exposures and experiences including nutrition, stress, immune challenges, endocrine disruption, and more. Weekly sections will be used to discuss papers, conduct investigations, analyze data, and provide peer feedback.
