2. The influence of biological structures on behaviour
* The divisions of the nervous system: central and peripheral (somatic and autonomic).
* The structure and function of sensory, relay and motor neurons. The process of synaptic transmission, including reference to neurotransmitters, excitation and inhibition.
**Week 2 - The Influence of neurochemistry on behaviour**
1. The function of the endocrine system: glands and hormones.

Localisation of function in the brain and hemispheric lateralisation: motor, somatosensory, visual, auditory and language centres; Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas, split brain research. Plasticity and functional recovery of the brain after trauma.
**Week 4 - Ways of Studying the Brain**
1. Scanning techniques, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI); electroencephalogram (EEGs) and event-related potentials (ERPs)
2. Post-mortem examinations
**Week 5 - Biological Rhythms**
