Classes Beatrice Teaches:

Brain & Behavior I

 

Brain & Behavior Seminar

The seminar, for seasoned Brain and Behavior students, continues to explore research advances in topics such as genetics, stem cells, and biotechnology as they relate to medical and behavioral health.  Dr. Bea Philwin will be joined by Marjorie Spencer, who will be guiding the biochemical aspect.  Students are active participants.

 

Brain & Behavior II

This class is a continuation and extension of "Brain and Behavior I." The purpose of this series is to gain an appreciation of the brain-behavior relationship by examining what underlies learning, memory, perception, spatial reasoning and physical activity through films, articles and discussions. This can be accomplished without assignment and tests or prior knowledge; to enjoy learning is the only requirement.
