Behavioral Neuroscience
In this course we explored (surprise...) behavioral neuroscience, especially that of learning.
For my final paper I wrote an essay on second language acquisition. It explores the ideas of a critical period, separate loci in the brain for grammatical and semantic components of language in order to understand the phenomena that constitute the process of second language acquisition.
This class took me back to biopsychology, the behavioral neuroscience class I had taken exactly three years before. Biopsychology was the class that originally made me want to branch from psychology into STEM and pursue a degree in neuroscience.
