This course provides you with an advanced introduction to empirical findings, methods, and theoretical perspectives from the field of social neuroscience. The main purpose of this course is for you to acquire knowledge on the physiological mechanisms that mediate social relationships and pair-bonding. The secondary aim of this course is for you to develop their critical appraisal of how social relationships influence cognitive and affective processes and development in humans. Each seminar will begin with an illustration of a social relationship (e.g. Romeo and Juliet), derived from a broad swath of avenues from classical literary and contemporary sources. The central neuroscientific concept behind the case in point will be extricated, before the mechanisms and scientific empirical cases related to that concept, discussed.
