Course content
The discipline introduces students to the regularities of the structure of the nervous system and the mechanisms of its functioning, as well as the consideration of neurophysiological mechanisms of the implementation of innate and acquired human and animal behavior. In particular, the neurophysiological mechanisms of the formation of needs; motivations, emotions, learning and memory as the basis for the implementation of any purposeful behavioral response of humans and animals are covered in detail. The author substantiates the regularity of the emergence of language, self-awareness and consciousness as a special mechanism for regulating human behavior in the social environment. The issues of behavioral reactions in normal and in conditions of brain disorders are considered. In the future, the knowledge and skills formed on the basis of the study of this subject will be used in the study of disciplines related to the study of human mental activity, in particular, "Neuropsychology of Emotions and Corporeality", "Neuropsychology of Conscious and Unconscious Mental Processes", "Neural Networks and Artificial Intelligence", "Neuropsychology of Creativity and Neuroaesthetics".
