Psychological Statistics
PSYC 0201

Psychological Statistics This course will examine statistical methods used in the behavioral and biological sciences. Students will learn the logic underlying statistical analysis, focusing primarily on inferential techniques. They also will become familiar with the application and interpretation of statistics in psychological empirical research, including the use of computer software for conducting and interpreting statistical analyses.

Behavioral Neuroscience
NSCI 0252

Fundamentals of Behavioral Neuroscience Behavioral neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that combines approaches and knowledge from psychology, biology, and chemistry to further our understanding of human and non-human animal behavior. In this course, you will study the interrelationships among elements of the nervous systems, co-functioning bodily systems, and behavioral output such as emotions, sex, memory, consciousness, sleep, and language. You will be given an opportunity to apply your knowledge from NSCI 0251 of the nervous system at the micro and macro levels and will revisit the basic concepts of behavioral genetics and psychopharmacology. This cumulative knowledge base will serve as your foundation for advanced study of neural systems and their relative roles in progressively more complex behaviors such as basic reflexes, motivation, rational thought, neural disorders, and therapeutic efficacy.

Genes, Brain, Behavior
NSCI 0434

Genes, Brain, and Behavior What we experience—and how we experience it—is influenced by our unique combination of genes. For better or worse, the gene variants we inherit from our parents contribute to our predispositions to psychological disorders, our personalities, and even the way in which we perceive the world around us. To be clear, anything that you can do or think is in some way influenced by your genes. However, this statement comes with a large caveat: except in the case of (relatively) rare single gene mutations, your genes do not determine but rather contribute to who you are. Working within the field of behavior genetics, we will cover topics such as social behavior, sexual promiscuity, drug abuse, language, intelligence, and psychopathology.

Behavioral Genetics
NSCI 0343

Behavioral Genetics Why are some people shy while other people are very outgoing? Why do some people do well at school while others struggle just to pass? This course examines the roles that genes and the environment play in creating individual differences among us humans. In order to answer these questions, this course will cover topics including molecular genetics, Mendelian genetics, metabolic disorders, chromosomal disorders, linkage and association designs, and the genetics of complex disorders. (PSYC 0226 or BIOL 0145 or NSCI 0251; Open to psychology or neuroscience majors only, others by approval) 3 hrs lect.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Professor Parker is clear, effective, and engaging. She often adds humor to lectures and I never felt confused about what was expected of me. Although exams were tough, they were not unfair or impossible if you studied hard. I took away a lot of valuable information from this course which has guided my work now in neuroscience. The lab is also super fun and interesting! I would definitely take this class again!

The class was really interesting. Professor Parker is very smart and knows her stuff. It is a fast-paced course, but it is all very interesting. I will say that the tests are quite difficult-- if you prepare, you will do well, but you have to study. Overall, I would recommend taking 252 with Professor Parker.

Parker is super clear. This class was super fast paced but it goes through the foundational aspects of neuroscience. It was very cool. I enjoyed almost every class. The exams were tough for me, especially the multiple choice.
