教学目标
Course Objectives
通过对行为神经科学这门课程的学习，学生应该能够系统的了解包括人类在内的动物个体的各种行为、心理、动机背
后的神经生理机制；这种机制包括基因、分子、细胞、网络、系统等多水平。除了对行为神经科学这一学科的学习和
研究外，本课程还可以帮助学生了解自身是如何思考和行为，为各种心理困惑提供应对机制。
After finishing this course, students can systematically understand the neural mechanisms
underlying all kinds of
animals’ behaviours, thoughts and motivations. The levels of mechanisms will include genes, molecules, cells
,
neural networks, system, etc. Besides the study of behavioural neuroscience itself, this course will also p
rovide
students with knowledge about human’s internal mental processes and help them to deal with psychologic
al
difficulties by themselves.
