Cíle předmětu
The aim of this course is to provide students with the knowledge in the fields of affective and social neuroscience. First, the brain anatomy, physiology and methods of investigation will be outlined in order to further discuss topics such as various emotion-related neural circuits, neurobiology of emotional memory and social modulation of emotions. The students will be also presented with the contemporary views of emotions from the neuroscientific perspective. All topics covered will reflect also potential implications for various psychopathological symptomatology continuums (e.g. anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction etc.) from the psychologist´s perspective.
