M-PSI/02 - PSYCHOBIOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY
Period
Sem. 1A dal Sep 24, 2018 al Nov 10, 2018.
Learning outcomes
General aims:
1) Knowing and undertanding the psychological theories that explain the fundamental processes related to the functioning and adaptation of the individual to the physical and social environment;
2) Applying the theories related to the functioning of individuals, groups and organizations to the understanding and analysis of learning phenomena and of personal and social change;
Specific objectives: The course aims at providing the theoretical and methodological framework necessary to understand the neurobiological correlates of human behavior and cognitive functions. Through the study of the main techniques and methods to investigate the neuronal activity (EEG, fMRI and TMS) and human behavior, the teaching also aims at providing the tools to evaluate and analyze the functional changes in the individual. At the end of the course, the student should prove the ability to link the main biological and neuronal mechanisms to the functional and adaptation processes of the individual to the physical and social environment.
Program
The program will touch the main issues addressed in Psychobiology, such as memory, learning, attention, perception, action, language. All of these cognitive functions will be dealt with a physiological point of view, by describing also the neural bases.
Introduction to Psychobiology:
a) Background
b) the principal methodological tools and techniques
Biological bases of behavior:
a) neurons and synapses
b) neuronal circuits
c) long-term potentiation
The cycle "perception-action"
a) from sensory stimuli to motor outputs
b) movements and actions
c) the neural basis
Attention:
a) endogenous and exogenous attention
b) experimental paradigms
c) the neural basis
Memory:
a) types of memory: short-term and long-term
b) experimental paradigms
c) the neural basis
The language:
a) the main theories on language
b) the neural basis
Learning:
a) theories of conditioning
b) experimental paradigms
c) neural mechanisms
The brain plasticity:
a) virtuous and harmful plasticity
b) functional reorganization
c) inter-hemispheric inhibition
d) neuromodulation
Emotions:
a) centra and peripheral theories
b) components of the emotions
c) biological bases
