Course content
The discipline "Genetics of behavior with the basics of psychophysiology" is part of the educational program of professional training of specialists of the educational level "Master", a block of free choice of the student. Behavioral genetics and psychophysiology can be used in related sciences as well as in interdisciplinary research. The course covers the issues of epigenetic processes that occur at all stages of formation and development of living organisms. In addition, the discipline is designed to generalize students' ideas about the genetic basis of intelligence and behavior, the causes of individual variability of intelligence and behavior, mechanisms of the most common disorders of intelligence and deviant behavior, mechanisms and genetic basis of dependence on psychostimulants.
