Behavioral beurobiology

OK so this is probably my most awesome class this semester at school. First off to answer any questions about it it is the study of the human brain in unison of the behaviors that we exhibit. Basically why it is we do what we do based on the anatomy of our brain. It is also one of the most interesting things I have studied so far. Why you may ask? Well, it is not everyday you get to dissect a human brain and get away with it. Not only dissect it, but I got to research it and figure out where everything is in the brain from all the cranial nerves, down to the midbrain region and medulla. How awesome is that? Or at least to me as a psychology major. It helps to feed my natural curiosity of why we do what we do and how everything works and what makes us tick. Thus for me this class is a playground and dissecting the brain is like the coveted swing- wanted by all but too few for everyone. Anyone who may be reading this and contemplating taking this class I highly recommend it.
