Stress Neuroscience is a seminar course designed to familiarize students with current research in the field. After surveying introductory material, primary journal articles will be discussed each week. This course will examine the neural mechanisms underlying physiological and emotional responses to stress. We will explore the physiological effects of stress on the immune system, gut microbiome, and feeding behavior, the effects of stress across the lifespan and in offspring, as well as strategies to build resilience. We will also discuss how stress impacts substance use and mental health disorders. Students will also be exposed to primary literature on these topics and expected to present these articles in a journal club format. Suggested preparation: PSYCB218 (Behavioral Neuroscience) or equivalent
