Gene Environment Interaction in Development (DEP6059 -- GXE INTERACT DEV)
With the nature-nurture debate now obselete, a major challenge is to identify how genes and the social environment interact to impact development and behavior.

During this seminar-format course, students will engage in active participation and discussion. Part of the course will feature presentations by the instructor and outside experts via multimedia presentations. The remainder will center on student-led discussion. Issues surrounding development will be a focal point. Topics include brain, social, and cognitive development, neurodevelopmental disorders, psychopathology, and addiction.
