Selected Topics in Biopsychology — Open Course, Lecture 6 | SAS Online |
Open Course “Selected Topics in Biopsychology”: https://rb.gy/rhdmhj Is human behavior a product of brain anatomy and physiology? Can psychology be considered as a biological discipline? What causes mental disorders? Why, despite the impressive advances in scientific knowledge in the post-genomic era, the development of treatments for mental illness remains such a challenge? Is a breakthrough possible in this area? The course helps listeners to better understand the various manifestations of mental states, and it will be a window to ourselves and other people around us. There will be special emphasis on depression, fear, psychopathy, and propensity to commit crimes. Ayala Arslan is a molecular neuroscientist. Following her MS degree in Biotechnology at the Middle East Technical University, Turkey in 2001, she was awarded the scholarship of German Research Foundation (DFG) by which she had the opportunity to pursue her doctorate (PhD) in molecular neuroscience at Heidelberg University, Germany. She is the editorial board member of Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, review editor of Frontiers in Neuroscience and at present, as Guest Editor, leading two special issues in Journal of Visualized Experiments (JOVE) and Journal of Integrative Neuroscience. Lecture 6: Depression Globally, more than 264 million people of all ages suffer from depression. Depression burden as a disease, diagnostic criteria and pharmacological treatment will be introduced at this lecture. We will discuss the requirements for better pharmacological treatment and the long-standing issue of “missing heritability”. Recent progress in genome wide association studies (GWAS) of depression and the era of big science in psychiatry will also be presented. The SAS BA program offers a world-class education delivered in the English language. It features: — professors from 17 countries, the majority of whom received their PhDs from universities ranked in the top 100 in the world (according to THE and QS World University Rankings); — seven majors, which correspond to contemporary practices in relevant disciplines at world-class universities; — an individual approach and interactive learning, with less than 20 students per class in 80% of courses.
