Drugs and Behaviour

3 ch (3C) · Undergraduate

A survey of all classes of psychoactive drugs and their influences upon cognition, behaviour, and physical functioning. Such topics will be discussed in relation to their underlying biology, including the role of the brain in acute drug responses, long-term effects, and dependence. In the process of doing so, the course will also address issues related to the history of psychoactive drug use, addiction, and legality.
