Why is this course so difficult?
1. Because it involves an eclectic approach
• Psychology• Biology• Physiology• Pharmacology• Anatomy
![Page 6: Psy 331: Introduction to Biopsychology](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061211/549339f0b479596a1c8b462f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2. Because Biopsychology is a subdiscipline of Neuroscience, which also encompasses various approaches to study the nervous system:
• Neuroanatomy
• Neurophysiology
• Neurochemistry
• Neuroendocrinology
• Neuropharmacology
• Neuropathology

3. Because Biopsychology has Six Divisions that students must understand and learn:
a. Physiological Psychology
- direct manipulation
- pure research
b. Psychopharmacology
- pure research
- applied questions

c. Neuropsychology
- human research
- case studies & quasiexperimental
studies
d. Psychophysiology
- human research
- noninvasive techniques (e.g., EEG)

e. Cognitive Neuroscience
- usually human research
- noninvasive (e.g., functional Brain Imaging techniques)
f. Comparative Psychology
- evolutionary & genetic factors in behavior
- uses comparative and functional approaches
- lab research & study of animals in natural
environment (ethology)

4. Because Biopsychology utilizes
Converging Operations
Which involves several approaches when studying a phenomenon to compensate for the limitations of each individual approach. Example: Does Lamictal for seizure disorders cause cognitive impairments?
