Biopsychology is the study of biological or physiological basis of behavior. Much of our behavior can be explained through the biological roots. That said, how the brain produces behavior is a major source of unanswered questions. The brain is the most complex living organ on earth. A growing list of behavioral disorders can be explained and treated as we increase our understanding of the human brain. Many aspects of behavior we can only understand through biological evidence. We will study the biological basis of behavior. Structure & function of cells in the nervous system. The way in which one acts or conducts oneself especially towards others. The way in which an animal or person acts in response to a particular situation or stimulus. The mental activity and thoughts of an individual. We will study it with respect to: Generalization scientific explanation: a general conclusion based on many observations of similar phenomena e. g. general laws like classical conditioning.
