HDFS673 - Stress, Development, and Health: A Biological Embedding Approach
Course ID

Course Description
In this course we take a lifespan/life history and evolutionary-developmental perspective to examine how environmental information guides the developing phenotype. The course begins with an overview of basic evolutionary-developmental concepts. Then we take up the great challenge in developmental science: Understanding the operation of the genome and how analysis of genetic and epigenetic variation contributes to our understanding of individual differences in brain development and function, from cell biology to physiology to emotional-cognitive states to behavior. We then move to examine how cues that guide developmental pathways shape health and well-being across the lifespan.
